What factors determine the price of a polygraph test?
The cost of a polygraph examination in London is determined individually, based on the unique complexity of your case. We are fully committed to pricing transparency: the fee agreed upon initially covers the entire procedure, without any hidden costs or unexpected charges.
Key components that determine the pricing:
- Complexity and context of the investigation: Private cases (such as resolving fidelity suspicions or domestic issues) often require highly customised protocols, whereas commercial investigations (loyalty audits or internal fraud) may involve analysing multiple parallel scenarios.
- Number of relevant questions asked: To achieve maximum accuracy (typically 90–98% on single-issue tests), an optimal test should contain a strictly focused set of specific questions (usually 3 or 4 critical questions). Artificially increasing the question count can dilute the subject's reactions and requires recording multiple additional charts, which impacts the fee.
- Number of individuals being examined: For businesses requiring batch testing (e.g., assessing multiple employees regarding a theft or performing periodic integrity checks for sensitive positions), we provide highly advantageous volume discounts.
- Type of final reporting required: Drafting an official Polygraph Expert Report conforming to strict judicial-grade standards, usable as an investigative aid for legal matters, requires comprehensive forensic analysis.
