Great to see someone who's made their own flow chart. I say, do your own.
I once negotiated a freebie TV commercial with a client, who paid for film stock, development, telecine, online edit hire - and then signed a contract that they would broadcast the ad for a certain number of spots.
It all came off well.The ad looked high-budget (it would have been if I'd charged for all my time) and the client's business boomed. They later sponsored a whole series using my 30-second ad and 15-second versions.
I was given an opportunity to do something everybody would have thought too risky and unlikely to recover its costs. I got to be known as they guy who shot that ad. It's embarrassing, but I got as much work and esteem from my peers from that 27-second commercial as I would have got from a feature film!
