Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about demographic research, site selector confidentiality, RFI turnaround support, and our managed model.

Economic development consulting frequently involves confidential company code-names ("Project Eagle", "Project Titan"), sensitive capital investment figures, and competitive incentive packages. All Sagedoer team members execute legally binding, strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Assistants work exclusively within your designated secure cloud environments (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SharePoint) using multi-factor authentication, with zero unauthorized downloads to external local machines.
Yes. Our virtual assistants are trained in extracting, organizing, and cleaning data from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey 1-year and 5-year estimates, OnTheMap commuting LODES data), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (QCEW employment, OES occupational wage benchmarks by SOC code), and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (GDP by county and MSA). They populate your master spreadsheets, verify mathematical formulas, and format comparative charts for client reports.
Your Project Manager acts as your single operational liaison. Instead of you spending billable hours coaching an assistant on location quotient calculations, checking Census table formatting, or verifying time logs, your manager translates your research methodology into daily work orders, spot-checks data deliverables before they reach you, and audits timesheets—completely free of charge.
Yes. Corporate site location RFIs typically require rapid 48-to-72-hour turnarounds. Your assistant coordinates with your municipal site inventory (acreage, rail, dual-feed power availability, wastewater capacities), inputs relevant labor shed demographic data, and prepares clean, branded RFI response dossiers ready for your final professional review and submission.
None. We charge 0% platform markups and zero onboarding fees. You pay strictly for the contracted productive hours worked ($7/hr Part-Time or $6/hr Full-Time). You retain total flexibility to scale support up during major master plan drafting cycles or federal grant windows and scale back as deliverables conclude.
