Consulting Rate Card

Transparent pricing for expert mathematical modeling and policy analysis

Our rates reflect deep technical expertise in mathematical modeling, epidemiology, and policy analysis. We offer competitive pricing with substantial discounts for academic institutions, nonprofits, and long-term partnerships.

Hourly Rates by Service Type

We offer different rates based on the nature and complexity of the work. Standard Consulting covers most modeling, analysis, and advisory work. Technical Analysis applies to focused computational tasks such as code review, data analysis, or model validation. Expert Testimony reflects the specialized preparation and high-stakes nature of legal or regulatory proceedings.

Service Type Rate Range Typical Application
Standard Consulting $250–$275/hour Model development, strategic advisory, research design
Technical Analysis $225–$250/hour Code review, data analysis, model validation
Expert Testimony $375–$425/hour Legal proceedings, regulatory testimony, depositions

Training and workshop day rates: $2,500–$3,500 per day (plus preparation time). These include curriculum development, materials creation, and delivery of hands-on technical training.

Project-Based Pricing

All modeling projects include comprehensive documentation delivered as technical reports, Jupyter notebooks, or interactive markdown documents. We leverage LLM-assisted tools to accelerate report generation and code documentation, keeping costs competitive without compromising quality. If you require only results and discussion without formal documentation, we offer a 15–20% reduction in project cost.

Project Type Typical Range Duration
Simple Simulation Models $15,000–$30,000 4–8 weeks
Complex Multi-Component Models $40,000–$80,000 8–16 weeks

All projects include: model code, documentation (Jupyter notebooks or technical reports), validation results, and post-delivery support. Policy briefs and executive summaries are generated efficiently using LLM tools and included as part of project deliverables at minimal additional cost.
