Review time from people who are not immigration specialists: account leads, security or privacy staff, and sometimes the client. Ask for a scope naming who drafts the examples, who reviews them, and how many rounds are covered, and confirm official charges at the time of the relevant step.
Expect more than one review round
Sanitised examples rarely survive their first clearance unchanged, and each round costs both adviser time and internal goodwill. Reduce the number of rounds by agreeing the format and the level of detail before drafting anything. Decide in advance what happens if a client refuses consent for an engagement the case relied on, including whether an alternative example exists and who would write it.
Price the clearance work as rounds rather than as a single review, because sanitised examples rarely survive their first pass unchanged. Ask for a scope naming who drafts, who reviews, how many rounds are covered, and what happens beyond them. Agreeing the format and the level of detail before drafting is the cheapest way to reduce the number of rounds.
Decide in advance what happens if a client refuses consent for an engagement the case relied on, including whether an alternative example exists and who would write it. Internal goodwill is a real cost here as well as money, since the reviewers are usually busy people doing this on top of their own work. Confirm official charges when the relevant step arrives.
