# Budget ask of the Engineering WG

Everything in EUR. Feel free to adjust by 0.88 or so for GBP.

It is unlikely that the EWG will be productive to actually spend all the money. This is an upper-ceiling.

For the reason that the effort has grown a lot since the last offer, we might decide to cut down Paul's ceiling to 40k. The contract allows to terminate the contract. However, asking for the upper limits seems more sensible than a massive cost-overrun.
