Pricing
What it costs, and what changes it
Four lines of work, priced on their own units. The things that move a price are listed, and so are the things that never do — the certificate, the seal numbers, serial-level reporting, and having you stand there and watch are all included in every job.
Rates are not published yet. Silverback is pre-operational and has not set them. Rather than print a figure that would be revised the first time a real job is quoted, this page states the unit each service is priced on and what moves the number. Send a scope through the quote form and a written price comes back against it, with a sample certificate so you can check the paperwork before you check the price.
