That seems a nice approach. I would be interested to know:

1. Why the rule about no cancellation after the first iteration?
2. Can you give use any approximate figure (or range) for the size of an
iteration, say in man-days?
3. How did the client(s) react to the rule that mid iteration cancellation
is not allowed?  Presumably, they can cancel the work, but have to pay you
the fixed price for the iteration anyway? I would imagine that this could be
difficult to get past the client's Legal and Contracts people.

Thanks
