Questions
Before you commission a brief.
How much does an Executive Intelligence Brief cost?
Projects begin at $595 for an analysis of your company and three selected competitors, delivered as a professionally formatted PDF within five business days. Deeper multi-competitor briefs and recurring quarterly intelligence are scoped individually.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is five business days from project confirmation. Expedited timelines can be discussed for time-sensitive board or investment decisions.
What sources does the research use?
Public and observable sources only: company websites, announcements, filings, hiring activity, pricing pages, digital channels and credible market coverage. No confidential, paywalled-account or unlawfully obtained information is used.
Is my inquiry confidential?
Yes. The companies you analyze, the questions you ask and the brief itself are never shared, published or reused. Consultants and fractional executives regularly commission briefs for their own client engagements.
How is AI used — and where do humans come in?
Purpose-built research technology accelerates source discovery and signal extraction across the competitor set. A human analyst then reviews material findings, validates sources, shapes conclusions and writes the strategic recommendations before anything is delivered.
The Arithmetic
What does the research cost when you do it yourself?
Move the sliders. The comparison is your own time at your own rate versus a commissioned brief.
