Complex & multi-phase assignments

Some projects require a scoped quotation

Larger, field-based, multi-country or institution-wide assignments cannot be responsibly priced from a standard starting-fee schedule.

Scoped quotation

Baseline, midline and endline studies · Programme and impact evaluations · Primary data collection · Multi-country research · Large-scale analytical systems · Complex dashboards · Long-term research and analytics partnerships

Fees are determined after assessing the research design, geography, sample and data requirements, fieldwork responsibilities, analytical complexity, team requirements, deliverables and timeline.

What determines the fee?

Starting fees provide a budget reference, not a fixed tariff

Final quotations reflect the actual methodological and delivery requirements of the engagement.

Methodological complexity

Research design, analytical methods, modelling requirements and validation.

Data or evidence readiness

Cleaning, restructuring, missing data, documentation, screening volume and extraction requirements.

Scale

Number of datasets, research questions, outcomes, models, databases, studies, sites or countries.

Deliverables

Analysis files, reproducible code, tables, visualisations, dashboards, technical reports, evidence products and presentations.

Timeline

Standard versus accelerated delivery and dependencies on other project activities.

Collaboration requirements

Meetings, stakeholder engagement, methodological consultation, review cycles and handover requirements.

How an engagement works

A clear path from enquiry to agreed work

The scope, deliverables and commercial terms are established before substantive work begins.

  1. 01

    Send an enquiry

    Provide a brief, non-confidential description of the research or analytical problem, the current stage of the work, the support required and any important deadline.

  2. 02

    Scope the work

    Establish the objectives, available data or evidence, methodological requirements, responsibilities, deliverables and timeline.

  3. 03

    Agree the engagement

    Receive a written scope and quotation specifying the agreed work, deliverables, fee and applicable payment terms.

  4. 04

    Begin the work

    Substantive work begins after the scope and commercial terms have been agreed.

Important information

All fees are quoted in USD. Displayed prices are indicative starting fees and do not constitute an automatic quotation.

Third-party expenses—including fieldwork, travel, enumerators, specialist software, paid databases or other external costs—are excluded unless expressly included in the quotation.

Accelerated delivery may attract an additional fee. Additional analyses, deliverables or revisions outside the agreed scope may require a revised quotation.

Larger engagements may be structured using milestone payments.
