It seems still a very high price for the investigation.

Regular market should not exceed about US$2500 per day for this type of
consulting. Simple arithmetics results to 45 days of work or 22 checked
domains per day or 160 minutes per domain.

Given the outcome of the study, there is a huge mismatch between printed
version and expectations.

At least my "non professional" point of view.
