What an
hour of research time buys: At least 1 solid hour
of search (usually double that because of dead links or other reasons)
for each hour paid for, a report as requested by the client, and
sources (exact links) for the report.
I
require a day for each hour of research paid for.

As of May 2010, I am no longer in the Washington, D.C., metro area and
travel fees would be in addition to those immediately below.
Please note that you are not charged the hourly research rate for
travel time. You already have paid for the travel at rates based
on the prevailing U.S. Government reimbursement rates. (See
