Fees
What a briefing costs, and what it does not
Fees follow the length of the series, the state of the papers, and whether a sitting is included. We do not sell a monthly pass to the atelier.
An estimate is a letter, not a card on this page. The figures below are guides so you can judge whether the desk is the right size for the question. Travel outside Tbilisi, extra prints for a large board, and work in a second language on the sheets are listed separately when they apply.
What moves a quote:
- Length of the series and whether monthly grain is required.
- Whether the sources are already in one cupboard or scattered across yearbooks.
- Number of charts, and whether a forecast range is to be written.
- One revision is included in a briefing. Further redraws are charged by the sheet.
A deposit of one third holds a diary date for a briefing. Seasonal sheets are payable on delivery. Archive inspection is due on the day. Refunds, postponements, and work already begun are set out on the refund page.
We do not take a percentage of a trade, and we do not discount a forecast range to fit a budget. If the question is smaller than a briefing, we will say so and point you to outlook sheets or to a single sitting.
