know is that he likes minimal text on the slides. So anything you can do to depict the story
in graphics and limit the amount of text would be good. No other feedback.”
“Thanks so much for your feedback and for your patience. I have an updated
document with less text for you to review. Let me know your thoughts and your
requests for any additional edits/updates.”

Konsus presents a team of 10 data entry specialists and two project managers. A
solution is developed where the data entry specialists use a special mapping
tool called ProMap to calculate all the needed parameters. In addition, it is
agreed that the freelancers will use Google Street View to survey if there are any
blockages in front of the house.
