24 tightly scoped services
A clear question. A clear price. Choose a manageable investigation. The published time cap protects your budget and keeps the work focused.
Research transparency
Clear scope. No surprise expenses. Free, public and customer-supplied sources first. For paid records: provide it, decline it, or approve the exact fee and pay the provider directly. Eftsona never advances outside costs.
No particular finding is guaranteed. Records may be missing, inaccurate, conflicting or inaccessible. Documented findings and hypotheses remain distinct.
