Our costing model
We charge for our data linkage and integration services based on the complexity and scope of the project, the data sources and variables involved, the data processing and analysis required, and the data access and delivery options preferred by the data users.
We charge a standard rate for each project, which covers the costs of data linkage, data integration, data access, data governance and data quality.
We provide an indicative cost for each project at the initial stage of the request process, and a final cost agreement after the project details and specifications are confirmed.
