📊 Lead Count Multiplier

Based on the total number of leads requested. Larger volumes apply a higher multiplier – this reflects the value of larger, more comprehensive datasets.

51 – 2001.5×
201 – 5002.0×

💼 Capital Range Multiplier

You can select multiple capital ranges for each sector. The highest multiplier among your selections is used – because we price for the most valuable segment you're targeting.

🧮 Calculation Formula

Per sector – everything is calculated transparently:

base_min = (lead_min × 100) + (sub_count × 1,000) + 5,000
base_max = (lead_max × 100) + (sub_count × 1,000) + 5,000

sector_min = base_min × lead_mult × capital_mult × legal_mult × region_mult
sector_max = base_max × lead_mult × capital_mult × legal_mult × region_mult

If sector_min < 5,000 → sector_min = 5,000 (applied internally)
If sector_max < 5,000 → sector_max = 5,000 (applied internally)

total_min = sum(sector_min)
total_max = sum(sector_max)

📘 Worked Example

Request: 1 main sector, 3 sub‑sectors, 201–500 leads, 50–100M capital range, Share Company (SC), Addis Ababa region.

Base min = (201 × 100) + (3 × 1,000) + 5,000 = 28,100 ETB
						Base max = (500 × 100) + (3 × 1,000) + 5,000 = 58,000 ETB

						Multipliers:
						  Lead (201-500)        = 2.0×
						  Capital (50-100M)     = 1.5×
						  Legal (Share Company) = 1.2×
						  Region (Addis Ababa)  = 1.3×

						Cost min = 28,100 × 2.0 × 1.5 × 1.2 × 1.3 = 131,508 ETB
						Cost max = 58,000 × 2.0 × 1.5 × 1.2 × 1.3 = 271,440 ETB

						Total range: 131,508 – 271,440 ETB
