WHAT???
"But this was working on an assumption of two hours per report and a cost of $50 per hour to produce the report."
So, either the concept of an automatically generated report is too difficult to grasp for these companies? Any good programmer can write a script or program to generate and send the reports. Shouldn't take him much more than a couple hours. After paying that cost, every other report cost them essentially zero and bags them $100. As if that wasn't enough, they raised that amount to $160?
This is fucking incredible!
