Questions about custom research
How much does custom market research cost?
It depends on the scope: how many questions the research answers, the industry and how much official data exists for it. You receive a price before any work starts.
How long does a custom project take?
It depends on the scope and the data available. The delivery date is agreed together with the scope and price, before work starts.
Can you research a state or industry you have not published?
Yes, as long as official data supports it. Custom projects are how we cover markets outside our catalog. If the data does not exist, we tell you during scoping.
