Questions before you start
Can you analyse a new country or market?
Yes. We agree the market, language, relevant competitors and available sources before quoting the work.
Do you interview customers?
Customer or stakeholder interviews can be included. We agree who to speak with and how many interviews are needed.
Will you know competitors’ exact sales or ad spend?
We use information that can be verified and label estimates as estimates. The analysis also identifies gaps that need further research.

The fee depends on the markets, research questions, sources and interview scope. You receive a quote after the intro call.
