These packages apply across strategic & geopolitical intelligence, government & public-sector research, market & competitive strategy, and public-source business research. Availability and suitability are confirmed during scoping. Multi-country work, specialist data, interviews, and larger mandates require a separate quote.
All prices are starting fees in USD. The written proposal sets the fixed total; no extra work or expenses are charged without approval. Standard payment-processing costs are included. Applicable taxes, if any, are shown separately before acceptance.
Standard proposal terms: projects below $1,000 are paid upfront; larger projects use a 50% deposit and 50% on completion. Delivery dates start after scope acceptance, required materials, and the agreed initial payment. One clarification round covers the original scope; new questions are quoted separately.
Recurring research and enterprise or public-sector engagements are quoted to the agreed workload and procurement requirements. Rush work is accepted only when capacity allows and is priced in the proposal. Start with a no-charge, 15-minute scope discussion.
