By the work in the brief, not the price of the car.
Every consultation is priced inside one of four bands, the widest topping out at €200. Which band applies depends on how many candidates the brief produces, how much of a record exists for the model, and what has to be read to answer it properly.
The band, and the figure inside it, are agreed in writing before anything starts. If the brief turns out narrower than it looked, the fee does not grow to fit it.
