Institutional Research Partner

Scoped Research Engagement — $1,500

Research support, exhibition narratives, metadata cleanup, and source verification for cultural organizations, scoped in writing before work begins.

Research Retainer — $1,000 / month

Ongoing research support on a monthly basis: briefs, verification, and metadata work against a standing scope, reviewed monthly.

How an engagement works

1. A short discovery conversation about your project and deadline
2. A written scope with deliverables, price, and delivery date
3. A deposit on the signed scope; balance on delivery
4. Delivery with full citations — and a referral, if we earned it

Dataset and archive licensing is a separate program, quoted per project and subject to CTL’s rights review — it is not priced on this page.
