I mean... what kind of model? Diligence for what? The answer is probably "not much" since anyone who can't do that themselves and can't afford to hire someone to do it for them, probably also can't afford to pay much to outsource the work to a consultant. Especially when generative AI feels like it's going to get people 75% of the way there.
You'd probably be better served offering to run an entire deal process, rather than these discrete parts
Anywhere from $100 - $300 / hour. Depending on what you are actually doing. Could instead consider a cost not to exceed budget based on set expectations.
