Frequently Asked Questions
What if my question does not fit neatly into one tier?
Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation. We will recommend the tier that fits your question, or propose a custom scope with adjusted pricing. You always know the cost before we begin.
How do you ensure research quality?
Each report includes methodology documentation, source citations, and confidence levels for every finding. You review interim findings during the project and can request deeper investigation on specific areas.
Can we start with Express Insight and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a focused brief to validate a hypothesis, then move to a Strategic Deep Dive for implementation planning. Retainer clients receive 15% off new project tiers.
What does the retainer include?
Monthly monitoring reports covering competitor activity, market shifts, and regulatory changes relevant to your prior research. Each month includes 2 hours of direct analyst consultation to discuss findings.
How do workshop facilitation sessions work?
We co-create the workshop agenda based on which recommendations your leadership team wants to explore. Sessions are structured to drive alignment and defined next steps, not passive presentations.
What is your cancellation policy?
Projects can be paused at any interim milestone. If the research direction needs adjustment, we refine the scope collaboratively. Retainer agreements have a 30-day cancellation notice after the minimum term.
