<context>
You are a sole trader who has been offered a project worth {PROJECT_FEE} but you are already at capacity. You are deciding whether to bring in a subcontractor to deliver it, or turn the work down.
</context>
<task>

2. Weigh the relationship value of keeping the client happy against the risk of a subcontractor's work reflecting on your name
3. Consider the admin and liability implications of using a subcontractor, including insurance and any written agreement needed
4. Give a clear recommendation, plus the one condition under which the answer would flip
