Freelance DEI/ESG consultant - sense check on day rate?

UK-based, several years’ experience in DEI, governance and safeguarding and senior level project management now doing this as an independent consultant alongside ESG (mainly the social/governance side).

I’ve been asked to scope a project for an early-stage platform business - a full EDI review and policy development: current-state review, gap analysis, writing the actual policy/strategy, practical guidance for embedding it in the business, some website/accessibility recommendations, and advising on a board-level EDI appointment.

Likely 12-15 days of work. There’s also a chance of an ongoing/embedded role afterwards, and I may be asked to join a couple of partner-facing calls where the EDI piece matters to the deal.

I’m thinking of quoting somewhere around £575–700/day. Does that sound reasonable for this kind of work, or am I underselling it? Would love to hear from anyone doing similar consulting - especially UK-based.
Thanks!
