Fees and delivery
Focused Briefs start at $495; Strategic Assessments at $1,495; Extended Research at $3,495. Starting fees are not automatic acceptance of work. The written proposal sets the exact questions, deliverables, timing, and total fee.
How the fee works
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.
Terms agreed upfront
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.
Need ongoing support?
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.
Specialist and broader work
Intelligence Security Assessments are custom scoped and quoted. Multi-country coverage, specialist data, interviews, and broader mandates need a separate proposal. No work or extra expense is added without agreement.
