Pricing approach
Clear proposals. Scope-based fees.
Fees remain private because the appropriate level of effort depends on the operation, records, locations, timeline, and requested work products.
Defined reviews
Fixed-fee pricing may be used when the records, sample size, review areas, and deliverables can be clearly defined.
Corrective projects
Project pricing reflects the findings being addressed, implementation responsibilities, tools, meetings, and follow-up required.
On-site support
On-site work is scoped around the purpose and expected duration. Applicable travel expenses are addressed in advance.
Ongoing advisory
Retainer pricing is based on the agreed review cadence, access, response expectations, and continuing support responsibilities.
Every proposal identifies: scope, assumptions, work products, schedule, professional fees, travel treatment, payment terms, and the process for approving changes.
Clear scope. Clear boundaries.
