Timeline by tier

What determines how long your evaluation takes.

INE™ evaluation timeline depends primarily on three factors: the complexity of the matter, the volume and quality of documents provided, and whether a rush option is needed. All timelines begin from the moment the scope is agreed and documents are received — not from the intake form submission.

Standard

5–7 days

Up to USD 50K exposure, clear facts, documents provided

Single-party matter with clear factual record and documentation available from the outset. Report delivered within 5–7 business days of scope agreement.

Medium

7–12 days

USD 50K–500K, multi-party or document-heavy

Two or more parties, larger document volumes, or matters with behavioural complexity requiring INDS-BF™ analysis.

Complex

10–18 days

USD 500K+, cross-border, multi-jurisdiction

Cross-border matters, multiple jurisdictions, large evidence sets, or matters requiring a Lead Neutral and specialist Analyst team.

Rush (48h)

+USD 350

Urgent matters — any tier

Emergency evaluation for time-critical situations. Available for Standard and Medium matters. 48-hour turnaround from document receipt.

What accelerates the timeline

Documents provided at intake — the most significant factor. Cases with complete documentation at submission are evaluated in minimum time
Clear scope definition — a well-structured NE-01 intake with specific questions reduces the information-gathering phase
Single party submission — bilateral matters where both parties cooperate with document requests move faster than contested fact-finding
Standard track selection — choosing the appropriate tier rather than requesting complex-tier service for a medium matter
Rush option — add-on available for USD 350, reduces any Standard or Medium timeline to 48 hours
