It wasn't a negotiated line item, but more that we had a specific ask, and the agency we were engaged with had a particular expert available if we could wait > a month. This didn't directly affect the cost - which maybe I should have made more clear, but still affected what I think would be the value of the engagement. I guess I'm saying: be aware that you may pay the same for less if you are in a hurry, but it'll still be better than what you have without paying :) It's still my suggestion that if you know there's a specialist available, wait if you can and bring them in. For the summary: we always got the short summaries, list of vulns, recommended remediation. Tbh - I never paid for the exec summary, but my guess is that it was just taking all that stuff, spiffing it up into a PDF with clickable sections, and making it a lot more flowery? It sounded like something more desired by larger enterprise companies (maybe like this blog post!) than small ones like the one that I managed these engagements for.
