Fees
Transparent fee guidance for market entry consulting — project fees, daily field rates, and what changes a quote.
Fees reflect the depth of research, the number of markets examined, and whether we travel. Figures below are starting points in New Zealand dollars, exclusive of GST. A short fit call is complimentary; a written scope always precedes invoicing.
Consultation starting points
What moves a quote up or down
- Number of SKUs and whether formulations differ materially
- How many markets are scored in a Pathway engagement
- Availability of clean product specifications and certifications
- Need for translated one-pagers or local meeting support
- Travel distance and meeting density on scoping visits
Payment rhythm
Project work is typically billed 50% on engagement confirmation and 50% on delivery of the final document or visit debrief. Day-rate fieldwork is billed weekly in arrears with approved expenses. Deposits are described further on our refunds page.
Not a subscription
We do not sell monthly software-style plans. If you need light ongoing advice after a pathway is delivered, we can agree a short block of advisory hours with a clear end date.
