We only ask for small s discounts on 101% to 85% matches. <br />Rationale is, our TM is well curated, we only use a small team of linguists who are happy to work from the same TM (one TM per client/tam of linguists).<br /> <br />We pay the full rate for anything under 84% as, as you quite rightly point out, these matches are often useless rubish.<br /><br />And we pay up to 90% of the full rate for high matches -and we check that TM fuzzies put forward by the SaaS are on tagrget and reusable. <br /><br />The only reason we do ask for some discounts is that client can easilly identify 100 or 101% "in context" matches from previous jobs, and we have to incentivise them by offering at least some level of discount for what they see as obvious repeats. <br /> <br />What we have a really tough time with is MTPE. Most of the time, the productivity boost is very small, a fact clients do not seem to understand. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
