We anticipate an optimal duration of about three months for the rating process to be completed from the point of initiation. Please note that the bias-quotient (BQ) and the dissonance factor (DF) are variables whose values will depend on the availability of relevant industry and sector data and the reliability of responses by the project-owner. We see the evaluation process as a joint exercise and we expect you to be prompt and proactive in responding to our further queries. Through a participative and consultative process we would seek to minimize both bias and dissonance and this would require two-way flow of queries and responses. The cost of each exercise will depend on the actual cost of information and of consultation hours that go into the process.
