Per matter / per entity / per unit
For bounded recurring work where the evidence unit can be defined responsibly.
Pricing Architecture
Pricing follows the evidence burden, scope and delivery model. Where practical, the first paid engagement is the smallest responsible scope that can prove value before broader work is justified.
Catalogue product pricing
the Aperture Product Range contains product records at different stages of research, pricing and commercial readiness. We do not publish internal guide prices or unfinished products simply because a record exists. When a catalogue product passes the publication gate, its approved price model appears automatically on the product page. Current established services and larger projects remain available under the pricing structures shown below.

| Quick Evidence Check | US$650 | Typical US$650–$950 |

Enterprise volume discounts and partner economics apply only through the relevant approved programme and do not automatically stack with other discounts or commissions.
VOLUME COMMERCIAL MODELS
Aperture does not force every recurring workflow into affiliate economics or a generic retainer. The commercial structure follows the actual evidence unit, expected frequency, delivery effort and capacity requirement.
For bounded recurring work where the evidence unit can be defined responsibly.
For agreed groups of similar evidence units where scale creates real delivery efficiencies.
For work a team cannot efficiently absorb internally but does not need permanently staffed.
For recurring qualified evidence requests across a team, client base or portfolio.
Any price indication on this page is orientation rather than a binding current quote. The accepted written proposal sets scope, source costs, review, currency, capacity and payment terms. Development-model prices do not constitute an approved specialist offer.
For individual investigations, the final fee follows a written, human-reviewed scope: the question, sources, deliverables, dependencies, timetable and agreed payment terms. Smaller published product prices and larger custom engagements are separate routes. An indicative starting fee is not a binding client quotation.
