Pricing & Engagement Models
Structured for clarity and flexibility. We scope before you commit — ensuring alignment on deliverables, turnaround, and scientific outcomes.
Engagement Models
Fixed Scope
Well-defined dataset & objective → flat project fee.
Milestone-Based
Larger builds with phased checkpoints & approvals.
Retainer
Monthly fractional capacity for iterative analysis & enhancements.
Hourly Advisory
Targeted troubleshooting, benchmarking, design guidance.
Common Bioinformatic Project-Based Engagement Packages
Indicative entry points only (final quote after data review).
RNA-seq (≤6 samples)
QC → alignment → differential expression → figures
