Agree with 1 man 1 desk. Our unit usually has an explicitly all-in day rate fee for watching briefs that includes reporting. For some larger watching briefs we have negotiated a day rate, and a post-ex budget. The important thing is to be explicit in your tender document /quotation, and get written approval of your quote from your client before proceeding with the work, and keep a diary!
If I've read the original post correctly, then I have less sympathy for the archaeologist than for the developer as (as far as I know) an all-in day rate is more common for WB's.
