Pricing
Scoped to a fixed fee, before any work begins.
Every matter is different, so we scope each one and agree a fixed fee up front. You always know what you are paying and what you are getting before we start. No surprises, no open meters.
Engagement shapes
Three common ways to start. The fee is set when we scope your matter and depends on the deliverables and the depth of evidence required.
First-pass
Scan
Scoped per matter
A short, fixed-scope look to tell you whether there is anything here worth pursuing, and which deliverable would answer it.
- +Rapid evidence sweep
- +Plain finding: is there a case
- +Recommended next deliverable
Most matters
Diagnosis
Scoped to a fixed fee
The core engagement. We build the master evidence pack for your matter and cut the deliverable, or bundle, you commissioned from it.
- +Master evidence pack built
- +Your chosen deliverables, graded
- +Source-linked and reviewable
Deeper
Inside-access
Scoped per engagement
Where you can grant access to internal records, we cross-check public gaps against the real position and separate real risk from disclosure artefact.
- +Public and internal crosswalk
- +Verified gap register
- +Owner map and action plan
We do not publish a rate card because honest pricing depends on the matter: the deliverables you need, the volume of evidence, the sensitivity, and whether internal access is involved. Tell us the matter and we will return a fixed fee.
What you are paying for
Work that is staged for trust, and says where it stands. Every report carries a visible validation status. The fee reflects how far up this ladder your matter needs to go.
Self-authored
From public or supplied material. Strong, not externally reviewed.
Source QA
Second-pass check against the source locker.
Domain reviewed
Checked by a relevant sector specialist.
Legal / editorial
Publication or formal-use risk checked.
Cross-checked
Public gaps tested against internal records.
Outcome validated
Led to verified corrections or confirmed findings.
Honest limits
What we do not claim.
- +We do not replace legal advice, audit, clinical governance, procurement-law advice or statutory investigation.
- +We do not treat missing evidence as proof of wrongdoing.
- +We do not use hacking, deception, private data brokerage or unsafe publication.
- +We do not claim certainty where the evidence only supports a route to verification.
- +We do not sell technology for its own sake; we identify whether better evidence, configuration, ownership or review will close the gap.
SameGROUND work is an evidence-linked diagnostic, not a final adverse finding, formal audit, legal opinion, clinical review or statutory investigation. It distinguishes established facts from unresolved claims and treats missing evidence as a verification question rather than proof of wrongdoing.
