I would recommend considering what you mean by review. I do a general
yes/no, which I can do in 5 minutes. I can touch a bulk of the site,
provide detailed feedback, and resources in about a week.

It will obviously depend on how many individual samples you've split the
assessment into, and how complex those samples are. If all they are is
static, reasonably straightforward content pages, then you would
generally be able to go through and test a few (3, 4, possibly more if
they're really short) in a day. On the other end of the spectrum, you
may have samples that are exceedingly complex ... like a whole
interactive Excel-like grid which also generates interactive explorable
graphs etc...at which point it may take you a few days just to verify an
individual sample (or split it into smaller, more manageable chunks).
So whichever formula you arrive at, it will likely involve number of
samples and complexity of individual samples.

Something else to think about, concerning time estimations, is how the client expects you to present the data you find during your review. Is the client fine with receiving a big numbered list of issues from each page, or do they want a full report with extended details and suggested code techniques to fix the issues?
Oh, and also, do they want quality assurance feedback such as spelling and grammar? Sometimes a site can be very accessible and usable but the usability and trustworthiness of the site and its content can dip when care isn't taken when writing the content. QA analysis can be a real time sink as you are doing reviews, if you are sensitive to that sort of thing.
So much to think about!
Best,
David

Tough question to answer as people like me do reports differently (not a
checklist yes or no-for me that isn't what this is about). Plus, do you
employ auditors with different disabilities, who are experts with their
tech? Or auditors who don't use tech, but are experts in their
disabilities? That can add a lot of time.
