Cost in context

What you'd pay anywhere else for the same work.

A brief on a single major-gift prospect has always been expensive to produce. Here's what the category costs today, and what a seat of Oriel replaces.

Consultant, per profile$250–750versus $6.63 per brief on Oriel

A consultant profile costs roughly fifty briefs on Oriel.

Freelance and consultancy prospect research firms charge between $250 and $750 for a single donor profile, with the top end reserved for in-depth due diligence and adverse-information work. Hourly research runs $150 to $275 per hour.

Oriel produces a comparable brief, capacity rating with sourced reasoning, philanthropic fingerprint, conversation hooks, for $6.63 on the subscription, or $9.90 on the pack. The consultant still has a place for delicate board vetting and complex due diligence. For the weekly meeting-prep brief, the math is decisive.

Prospect researcher FTE$80–120kannual fully-loaded cost

A team seat costs roughly two percent of a researcher's salary.

A mid-level prospect researcher in the us earns a base salary of $60k to $95k, landing at $80k to $120k fully loaded once benefits and overhead are counted. One researcher produces perhaps ten to fifteen quality briefs a week, if that's all they do, which it rarely is.

An Oriel seat at $2,388 a year delivers 360 briefs. A four-seat team produces 1,440 briefs a year for $9,552, less than a tenth of what a single researcher hire costs, with no recruiting cycle and no ramp. Teams who already have a researcher can use Oriel to double or triple that researcher's throughput by taking the mechanical data-assembly work off their desk, freeing them for portfolio strategy.

One better ask$50,000= twenty years of Oriel

The math only needs to work once.

A major gift officer walks into a meeting planning to ask for $100k. Oriel's capacity work shows the prospect just sold a minority stake, serves on two foundation boards, and has a documented giving pattern that supports a six-figure ask. The officer asks for $150k instead, and gets it.

That single corrected ask, a $50k delta, not even a new gift, pays for twenty years of the subscription. A new $250k gift that wouldn't have happened without the brief pays for a century. These are the outcomes the subscription is priced against, not the per-brief cost.

The arithmetic

One gift closed, or one ask corrected, and the seat has paid for itself for years.

$6.63 per brief on the subscription. $9.90 on the pack. Versus $250 to $750 from a consultant, or the fixed cost of a researcher you haven't hired yet.
