Evaluation criteria
Profile notes
What to confirm before you sign
Medical Research Consultants publishes 5 of the 8 fields in the Content Hub rubric. Across the 34 Long-tail / Boutique vendors profiled here, the median is 5 of 8. Of the 3 it leaves unpublished, these 2 matter most.
- 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.
- What is the turnaround on a 1,000-page file, and is that a median or a best case?Ask what the clock starts from — receipt, or the point the file clears intake — and what the same number looks like in your busiest week.
The other 7 questions, and what all 270 profiled vendors do and do not publish, are in the evaluation guide.
