Express offers at €2,500 excl. VAT are often disguised scope 1 and 2 assessments, or spend-based calculations without physical data collection. An assessment usable in a large client's CSRD reporting or for a demanding tender takes at least 8 to 10 consultant-days, meaning €6,400 to €12,000 excl. VAT in labour at €800 to €1,200 excl. VAT per day, before any other cost category. A complete SME assessment costs €10,000 to €30,000 excl. VAT depending on complexity.
