Why our pricing works differently

The Taberna operates as a values-driven, sole trader social enterprise — which means everything we offer is designed with purpose, not profit margins, at the center.

Our pricing isn’t “low-cost” — it’s mission-aligned.

We primarily work with highly skilled, under-recognised experts — including PhDs, Early Career Researchers, and sessional faculty — who are often navigating careers shaped more by structural precarity than by lack of talent or ambition.

These are people with ideas that deserve room to grow — not gatekeepers to please.

By keeping our pricing below typical consultancy rates, we’re not reducing the value of what we offer — we’re removing the barriers that too often keep brilliant people from their research.

This is strategic pricing for strategic people.
