The sponsor asked for bids on the same Phase 1 study from vendors in four countries. Quote Check reads every proposal into one standard grid, prices what each vendor quietly assumed, adds what each country really takes and really risks, and recommends on four things: cost, timeline, risk and delivery.
The parts with a dashed border need information that is not public. Every number there is marked Example and is made up for this demo.
Each line is an assumption one vendor priced differently from the sponsor's assumptions sheet, priced here at that vendor's own unit prices and added back, so all four quotes describe the same study.
Nothing in this section can be found in the quotes or on the internet. In the product it comes from the contracts VeloArc negotiates and oversees, and from interviews with people who have run these studies. On this page every number in it is an example.
A quote is a price before anything goes wrong. Signed contracts show what similar studies cost by the final invoice, and how each vendor has actually behaved.
None of these are in any headline total. They decide what the study costs if anything changes, and something usually does.
Every line of all four proposals mapped to the same sections. Service fees are the vendor's fixed prices; pass-through costs are third party bills paid at actual cost, so they are estimates.
Drafted from the findings above, so each vendor reprices on the same assumptions.
Every number marked Example on this page is made up, to show what the check does once the data exists. None of that information is public. Quotes can be compared by anyone with time and a spreadsheet. What similar contracts cost after signing, how each vendor has performed, and what each country really takes in practice cannot be looked up.
VeloArc will build the real numbers from two sources. The first is the deals it runs for clients: the quotes, the signed contracts, the change orders and the final invoices, used with each client's agreement in its engagement letter. The second is structured interviews with people who have run these studies. Every engagement adds to both.
