The R35 000 base fee covers confidential intake, an initial evidence review, exposure mapping and the approved investigation plan. The investigation bands are indicative budgets, not fixed quotations. A completion fee may be negotiated for eligible non-assurance recovery or value-realisation mandates. Its amount or percentage, measurement basis and cap are recorded in writing after scoping and never influence the findings. Specialist services, digital forensics, expert evidence, travel and disbursements are quoted separately. VAT treatment is confirmed on the invoice.
