What to confirm before you sign

American Retrieval Company publishes 6 of the 8 fields in the Content Hub rubric. Across all 270 vendors profiled in the Content Hub, the median is 5 of 8.

  1. What does a real 1,000-page file cost, all in?
    Ask for a worked example rather than a rate card. Duplicate pages, rush fees and monthly minimums are where the quoted rate and the final invoice separate.
    Indicative cost82% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublishedOurs: from 10¢ to as low as 5¢ a page, duplicates free
  2. What formats does the deliverable come in, and do the citations survive export?
    Ask to see an exported file rather than a screen share. A citation that works inside the vendor's viewer and dies in Word is not a citation you can file.
    Export formats83% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublishedOurs: DOCX or HTML, every citation stays a live link

The other 7 questions, and what all 270 profiled vendors do and do not publish, are in the evaluation guide.
