Q: Please provide the approximate number of total interviews for the initial task order. 6. A: Per your example, if each executive required a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 referencing interviews in addition to their own, and you conduct the assessment on 100 executives, that would give you an approximate minimum of 500 and maximum of 700 interviews. The actual number of executives assessed and interviews required will be determined in coordination with the vendor. 7.
