Re: Average time to Remediate PDFs in bulk?

I'd use a page rate rather than a document rate.
Maybe something like this:

Each page of basic text: x$ per page (starting base rate)

Each graphic/Alt-Text: Additional x$ for each graphic

If footnotes, superscripts, and other cross-references, Additional x$ per
page

Per document fee: Additional x$ to cover testing, metadata, etc. per
document

And other items.

So, start with the base rate of a page of solid text and headings. Then add
in the additional labor costs for fixing all of the other things that could
be in a document--sidebars, tables, cross-references, etc.
