Do not give them the details.

As a professional you have the right to protect your trade secrets. Your methods are your trade secrets.

Many a time, clients will get second opinion about how you are charging them. They may ask another quote and if they find it lower, they may switch service to another person. Whilst this is within their right, they need to respect their agreement with you. They have signed an NDA so they should abide by it.

By fair trade practice you can protect your intellectual rights by telling them the common things about your trade and not how you achieve results.

In the original contract, they are looking for results and not methods. Right?

So tell them, the outputs and just say you are using legitimate methods. It ends there.
