What is a person-day?
The fee for one person's work in one working day (here 8 hours). Total = rate per person-day × number of days.
Are these figures exact?
No, they are estimates. The exact price comes from experts' proposals and varies with the market and skill.
Is data entry priced per record?
Sometimes per record, sometimes by the hour or day. Legibility of the source and the number of fields affect speed, so timing a small sample is sensible.
How is accuracy ensured in data entry?
Double-checking, sampling and agreeing an acceptable error rate in advance are common methods; these checks add to the working time.
