Every CipherIntel engagement is $100 flat — a sourced, analyst-grade brief delivered in under 48 hours. Pick the depth that matches the decision you’re about to make.
Same flat rate, different scope. Every brief is sourced and delivered in under 48 hours.
Every engagement is $100 flat — there is no per-hour billing and no minimum commitment.
Brief covers an executive summary plus cited findings (1,000–1,500 words) drawn from open-source intelligence, public records, and reputable media, with a 48-hour delivery window.
Deep Dive builds on the Brief with a primary-source pack — regulatory filings, court records, and an adverse-media sweep — and lets you select a 24-hour rush on the intake form.
Enterprise covers volume or multi-brief engagements that require NDAs and a dedicated cadence. Scope and pricing are quoted per engagement rather than at a flat $100.
Brief: 48 hours from confirmed payment. If we can’t meet that window, we’ll notify you before research begins.
Deep Dive: 48 hours standard; 24-hour rush selectable on the intake form for an additional priority lane.
Enterprise: engagement-scoped timeline agreed in writing at kickoff — weekly cadence or per-brief deadlines, whatever fits the workstream.
Every brief includes one consolidated revision pass. Send your corrections, follow-up questions, and clarifications in a single reply to the delivery email, and we’ll revise the report inside the same delivery window.
Additional revision passes are quoted per scope — if the revision expands what you originally asked for, we’ll quote the delta before starting so there are no surprises.
Every engagement is confidential by default. Your brief, our findings, and the report itself stay between you and the analyst assigned to your engagement.
Proprietary data sources are described in aggregate within the report — we surface findings, not the underlying methods, paid databases, or specialist tools. Source citations are public-record URLs and document IDs you can verify independently.
NDAs are available on request and signed before kickoff on every Enterprise engagement.
Payment is one-time $100 per brief via Stripe, processed before research begins. There is no subscription, no retainer, and no auto-renew.
If we receive your submission and we cannot scope the engagement — for example, the question falls outside what open-source research can defensibly answer — we’ll flag it before charging you. You won’t be billed for work we can’t deliver.
Once research is in motion, payment covers the work performed. If you need to cancel mid-engagement, contact us and we’ll work out a sensible resolution rather than a default policy.
