Not misleading at all. Clients decided what results they would get with 160 hours and we base the deliverables on that. Why go through all the hassle of dealing 1:1 with a contractor through an hour-based system when you can just get the RESULTS you wanted on a daily (or whatever timeline you wanted) basis? You would have to hunt down a new provider if something goes wrong or if the quality is off and waste time...
The system I have in mind breaks down the project into actual deliverables with built in contractor redundancy and quality control.
