Capability Maturity vs. Work on Proposals

I've prepared this text to efficiently process to common currently occurring and related phenomena. The first is the amount of unpaid work I can put in a lead before I must have some payment if I have not decided to do the work on some other basis. The second is so-called Capability Maturity (CMM) and its antipattern CIMM , which has to do with the reliablity of estimates in CMM Level I situations.
