8. Key Pricing Factors for IR Interpretation

• Proportion and intensity of Q&A sessions
• Depth of pre-event document analysis (IR deck, financials, contracts)
• Confidentiality and risk level of the event
• Interpretation format (simultaneous, consecutive, relay, hybrid)

IR interpretation is not a simple linguistic service.

It is a high-stakes investment communication system that directly impacts decision-making.

Therefore, pricing is not based on fixed conditions or hourly rates.

It is determined by the risk structure, communication complexity, and strategic importance of the event.
