Four things determine what your brief costs
1
Service category
Research and intelligence briefs require more expert time per word than content briefs. Legal documents require jurisdiction-qualified reviewers — the category sets the base rate.
2
Complexity tier
Standard, complex, and enterprise tiers. Your brief wizard categorises automatically — you see which tier applies before you approve anything.
3
Delivery speed
Standard delivery is included in the base cost. Fast Track (50% shorter window) is available at +50% of the base Kojo cost, selected at brief approval.
4
Output scope
Word count, sections, languages, competitors covered. The estimator updates in real time as you answer each brief question.
THE GUARANTEE
Not what you expected? We fix it or refund it.
Every brief is covered by our output guarantee. If the deliverable does not meet the standard described in your brief, we fix it at no additional cost. If we cannot fix it, we refund the Kojo you spent. No arguments. No review process. No conditions.
THE GUARANTEE COVERS
- Factual accuracy
- Brand voice alignment
- Format compliance
- Completeness relative to brief
COVERAGE
First project: Delivery Assurance included free.
Subsequent briefs: Available as add-on at +15% of base Kojo cost.
