Every engagement runs the full multi-layer adversarial assessment. The tier you select determines how much of the analysis is disclosed in your deliverable — from a high-level risk-posture briefing to a complete third-party-defensibility validation package.
A no-cost conversation to determine whether adversarial audit fits your situation, which tier matches your risk posture, and what an engagement would entail. No analytical work is performed and no document is reviewed until we are under engagement. If NLG is not the right tool for your problem, we will tell you so.
All four tiers run the same underlying multi-layer adversarial assessment. The tier you select determines disclosure depth — what we surface to you in the deliverable, not how rigorously we examine your document.
Tier 1
Risk-posture briefing
Severity-band counts and risk-posture summary. Tells you the shape and weight of what we found without disclosing where or what specifically.
Decision-makers who need to know whether a document carries material risk before committing resources to remediation. Pre-engagement diligence.
Tier 2
Where the risk lives
Severity-band counts plus category distribution and section-level concentration. General remediation guidance. Tells you where to focus, without naming every finding.
Teams that need to scope the problem before authorizing full remediation. Pre-litigation triage. Underwriting and counterparty assessment.
Tier 3
Findings and the fix
Complete findings ranked by confidence, severity, and defect class. Remediation plan with prioritized actions. Includes the NLG-produced corrected document with per-change audit trail.
Documents being acted on internally. The mainstream engagement when your team owns the conclusions and will execute the remediation.
Tier 4
Third-party defensibility
Tier 3 deliverable plus the Validation Appendix — rewrite traceability, validation evidence per remediation, residual-risk flagging, and third-party-defensibility documentation. Rate-locked — the validation deliverable's defensibility value depends on the methodology being applied without compromise.
Documents facing external scrutiny — opposing counsel, regulators, boards, audit committees, transaction counterparties. When an internal opinion is not enough.
Engagements are priced on the scoping call. Pricing scales with document complexity and tier selected. We do not publish list prices because adversarial audit pricing depends on factors a website cannot assess, and we will not anchor a buyer to a number that may not reflect their actual engagement.
For qualified first-time engagements, we offer structured pilot pricing on Tier 1 Intelligence with a conversion credit toward follow-on Tier 2 or Tier 3 work booked within 90 days. The pilot is a one-time program available to first-engagement buyers only. Tier 4 Validation is rate-locked and is not eligible for pilot pricing. Eligibility is discussed on your scoping call.
For organizations producing high-stakes documents on a regular cadence, NLG offers pre-paid retainer accounts. Subscribers pre-purchase an annual dollar pool at a structured discount; the pool draws against engagements at the standard rate as work is delivered. Tier-agnostic and domain-agnostic — a single pool funds Tier 1 through Tier 4 work across any combination of domains. Retainer subscription is also the only discount path applicable to Tier 4 Validation engagements.
Starter
Annual retainer pool calibrated for organizations with occasional high-stakes documents. Smallest pool size; mix-and-match across tiers and domains as engagements arise.
Growth
Annual retainer pool calibrated for teams running a steady cadence of mid-stakes documents. Sized for predictable quarterly or monthly engagement volume across tiers.
Professional
Annual retainer pool calibrated for firms with ongoing transactional, litigation, or regulatory volume. Sized for high-tempo engagement flow with priority turnaround.
Enterprise
Custom-sized annual retainer for organizations with regular need for Tier 4 Validation deliverables. Includes elevated discount terms and unlimited engagement mix across tiers and domains.
Retainer pool sizing and discount terms are quoted on the scoping call. Pools draw at standard per-engagement rates; the subscriber discount is applied at pool purchase rather than per engagement. Unused balance at renewal carries forward subject to retainer terms.
A brief call about your document, your context, and who will scrutinize it. We assess whether adversarial audit adds value and recommend the right tier.
Encrypted transfer under mutual NDA. Your materials are handled with the same security discipline our founder applied across 25 years of military service.
Your document goes through all independent analytical layers. A trained operator applies human judgment at every stage — adjudicating findings, filtering noise, classifying defects.
A structured report calibrated to your tier — from risk-posture briefing through third-party-defensibility validation package. Plus a debrief call walking through what each finding means in your specific context.
All client documents are processed under strict confidentiality. We execute mutual NDAs before any document transfer. No client data is retained beyond the engagement period without explicit written permission. Documents are transmitted through encrypted channels and handled with the same security discipline our founder applied across 25 years of military service.
Start with a scoping call — no commitment, no analytical work, no obligation. Just clarity on whether adversarial audit fits your situation.
