Field session budget arithmetic

Read the explanation

Source twelve planned sessions times forty-five minutes divided sixty gives nine interview hours. Hypothetical six sessions gives four point five. Bars share sixty pixels per interview hour. This excludes breaks and travel and does not establish that participants were recruited or interviews conducted. Source assumes six sessions per field day and rounds upward with a minimum one day. Twelve sessions require two days; hypothetical thirteen require three. Bars compare at one hundred eighty pixels per day. This stepwise budget model explains why one additional session can add a full day of assigned moderator and venue costs. Source tester incentives twelve times fifteen hundred give eighteen thousand pesos. Two field days times ten thousand moderator rate give twenty thousand. Bars share point zero two five pixels per peso. Venue seven thousand, data three thousand and buffer five hundred bring modeled total forty-eight thousand five hundred. Rates and exchange assumptions are not live quotes, and checked compliance boxes do not prove legal compliance. Complete original raw protocol/reset/native resize/first-footer proof preserves planning behavior.
