Ask How do you approach a request for work that sits just outside your core niche but uses overlapping skills?

[Edward22]

That space between what you normally do and what a client is asking for can be an opportunity or a risk depending on how far outside your comfort zone the work actually sits. Some requests are close enough that a little stretch is fine, but others can pull you into territory where you cannot deliver at your usual standard. Being honest with yourself about where that line is matters more than the short-term income. How do you decide when to take on adjacent work and when to refer it out instead?
