Yup, nothing is simple. You have to watch your ass to make sure no one rips you off (lots of things I will NOT outsource that I actually should for that reason). And then in addition to that, for what you do have to rely on others for you have to mitigate risks against someone flaking.
If it's part of a project, you cant commit to a firm date of delivery or go live until you have all of the pieces. I cant tell you how many times designers days 2-3 days, and it turns into 2-3 weeks.
For models, we always protect against how much we invest til they prove themselves reliable. Reliable ones get perks, lots of perks. Flakes get treated like flakes.
