Pricing

Value, Delivered

Now that you have seen what I can do, let us talk specifically about what matters most: value at a reasonable price.

 

Your business needs answers. My goal is to get you what you need as efficiently as possible. To that end, I provide three different types of pricing:

  • Quarter-Hour Consultations: For short and straightforward questions that do not require much time or effort to resolve. Suitable for quick queries that require less than one hour to resolve.
  • Hourly Charging: I will bill you by the hour, up to a maximum of 10 hours per daySuitable for short-to-medium-length engagements.
  • Time-and-Expenses: For longer-term projects, I charge a flat fee per day, plus any and all expenses incurred in terms of travel, accommodation, and other per diem costs. Suitable for long-term projects, especially those that require on-site presence.

Once we have agreed upon terms and signed a work contract specifying the scope of my work, payment can be arranged using whatever method is most convenient for you.

 

NB1: ALL prices are in US Dollars. Any conversions to local currency will be done at a pre-arranged exchange rate.

 

NB2: My working days are Monday to Friday regardless of time zone. Any calls, meetings, or discussions over weekends will be chargeable at 1.2x regular price. I will make every good-faith effort to ensure that work is not carried over if possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

YES! I want a free 30-minute consultation! How Will We OPen the Discussion?

First, use the contact form down below, or on my contact page, to send me an email. Please ensure that you provide your name, email, and a basic summary of your issue. From there, I will respond to your email and setup a mutually convenient time to discuss via Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangouts, depending on your preferred platform.

What Are the Next Steps After the Initial Consultation?

Once I have a clear idea from our initial discussion of what you need, I will put together an estimate of the effort and time required to complete the task at hand, along with specifics of the nature of the final product(s) and estimated date of delivery. I will send this to you for review and sign-off. Once we have agreed upon work terms, I will then go away and complete the necessary tasks.

Where Are You Currently Based?

I split my time between India and Russia, with extensive travel to other countries as and when the opportunities arise. As you will note from my bio page, I have lived and worked in 7 different countries and as such have a deep understanding of many different cultures.

Are You Able to Travel for On-Site Engagements?

I am quite happily willing and able to travel for client engagements. Any costs related to travel will be billed to you as part of our contract. However, given the recent changes in global travel availability from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is probably simpler and easier for you to engage me to work for you remotely. Should the need for travel arise, please be aware that any and all costs related to acquiring visas will also be chargeable. I will make every effort to inform you of such costs and of the time required to secure a visa.

I Believe That My Problem Requires Specific Software/Hardware to Resolve. Can You Help?

It really depends entirely on what you specifically need. If, for instance, you are doing statistical analyses using SAS, then that will be tricky because that is licensed software. Get in touch so that we can discuss in more detail using the contact form below.

Are You Able to Offer Long-Term Discounts?

My time and expertise are both valuable. As such, I do not offer discounts or variations from my prices shown above. Such negotiating tactics are useful for carpets and second-hand furniture; they are considerably less so for actual human knowledge, expertise, skill, and experience. No matter what the costs are, you are entitled to and will get the best possible service that I can provide.
