Research isn't a commodity, and our pricing reflects that. We start with a paid 1-hour consultation ($300, fully credited toward your project if you proceed), then send a written, fixed quote built around your data, methods, and timeline. No tiered packages, no hidden hourly bills.
A "standard package" can't honestly cover the spread between a 5,000-row cleaning task and a 10-million-row panel with reviewer revisions across three rounds. We price the work that's actually in front of us.
A clean 50k-row survey is fundamentally different work from a 10M-row administrative panel with missing identifiers and inconsistent encodings.
A descriptive analysis is not a causal inference design. Mixed-effects models, structural equation modeling, and Bayesian hierarchical approaches each have their own time cost.
A six-week timeline is paced. A five-day deadline before grant submission is a rush job. We're honest about what each requires.
A regression table is one deliverable. A regression table plus three publication figures, a methods section, and reviewer-response support is another.
Some literatures need substantial reading before we can sensibly engage. We bake that ramp-up time into the quote, not into a surprise invoice.
Quick analysis with notes is one thing. A fully reproducible pipeline with Quarto documentation and a Docker image is another.
No back-and-forth surprises. You'll know the exact price and timeline before any work begins.
Fill out the project form with your data, research question, and timeline. The more detail, the faster we can scope.
A 1-hour video call ($300) to dig into your data, methods, constraints, and timeline. Fee is fully credited toward your project if you proceed.
Within 1–2 business days, you receive a written proposal: scope, methods, deliverables, timeline, and a fixed price.
Accept by reply or via signed agreement. We invoice 50% upfront (Stripe or institutional billing) and begin work.
Before any quote, we run a 1-hour working session to understand your project deeply. The fee is fully credited toward your project total if you proceed.
A PhD-level methodologist meets you for one hour to dig into your data, methods, constraints, and timeline. You leave with concrete advice — even if you don't move forward with us.
Indicative ranges only — your actual quote depends on the factors above. These are not menu items.
⚠ These are not fixed prices. Final quotes are issued only after we've reviewed your project. Some projects cost less, some cost more — we charge for the work that's actually required.
Submit your project details — we'll respond within 1 business day with a consultation invite ($300, credited back if you proceed) and follow up with a written quote.
Submit your projectBecause it's a real working session with a PhD-level methodologist — you leave with concrete recommendations regardless of whether we end up working together. The $300 fee compensates for that hour of senior expertise. If you do proceed with a project, the full $300 is credited back to you against the project total, so the consultation is effectively free for any client we end up serving. If you don't proceed, you've still received an hour of paid expert advice that's yours to act on.
If after delivery you are not satisfied with the quality of our work, simply notify us within 14 days with the specific reasons. We will refund 90% of the total fee — no lengthy disputes. The 10% covers initial costs and is our only ask in exchange for the guarantee.
Yes. After receiving your written quote, you can ask us to adjust scope, deliverables, or timeline to fit your budget — or to provide a stripped-down version, or a phased plan. The price reflects the scope; change the scope and the price changes with it.
Credit card and bank transfer via Stripe, plus institutional invoices for university grant offices.
Yes. We're set up as a vendor for university procurement systems worldwide and can provide W-9, W-8BEN, or local equivalents.
Standard NDA on request. Data handled per IRB protocols; encrypted at rest and in transit.
Yes — graduate students typically receive a 15–25% discount, depending on project scope.
