Commercial principles

Pricing reflects technical expertise, analytical complexity, proprietary workflows, field realities, security conditions, and the depth of deliverables required for the engagement.

  • Area of interest size affects scope and pricing.
  • Geological complexity and analytical layering influence effort.
  • Turnaround, field support, and operational constraints can change commercial structure.
Accepted payment structures

Xidar’s default commercial model is full payment before commencement. Approved split terms are discretionary and typically reserved for institutional clients, government-linked work, long-term partners, or higher-value engagements.

  • No technical work begins until payment is confirmed.
  • Retainer structures may be negotiated for recurring or monitoring engagements.
  • Final deliverables may be withheld until outstanding balances are cleared.
Indicative pricing framework

Public pricing is indicative and designed to help buyers scope conversations faster. Final quotations remain project-specific and may move depending on geological setting, risk, region, urgency, and output requirements.

  • Reconnaissance screening: typically $500–$1,500.
  • Advanced targeting packages: typically $2,000–$6,000.
  • Professional intelligence packages: typically $7,000–$20,000.
  • Regional or institutional programs: custom quotation.
Late payment, refunds, and withheld deliverables

Where staged terms apply, late payment can suspend work or delay release of final outputs. Deliverables remain Xidar intellectual property until settlement is complete, and usage rights do not vest until the relevant invoice has been fully paid.

  • Net-of-fee payments may be treated as incomplete.
  • Overdue balances may attract administrative action where legally permitted.
  • Refund treatment depends on work already commenced, committed time, and non-recoverable project costs.
The public website pricing is a commercial guide. Project-specific quotations, staged schedules, and service agreements govern actual engagements.
