Pricing

Pricing: fixed fee per product

Four tiers, $29 to $499. You pay after the free read, once we have confirmed the product class and the tier — not before.

The four tiers

One product at a time, priced per product and not per hour. The tier changes how deep the report goes; it does not change who pays us or what the conclusion is allowed to say.

Tier	Fee	What is in the report	Best for
Single Page / one SKU	$29	FOB cost band for the quoted product 3 comparable quotes, each linked One paragraph on where the gap sits	One number, confirmed
Quick Check / one SKU	$99	FOB cost band, broken into its component parts 12 comparable quotes for the same product Source link behind every figure	A judgement before the decision
Deep Dive / one SKU	$299	Everything in Quick Check Retail price distribution in your target market Certification and packaging cost, itemised Negotiating room, with the specific levers Excel cost model you can edit	Ready to negotiate
Three SKUs / three products	$499	Deep Dive treatment on three products Side-by-side cost comparison Which SKU carries the margin, and which one does not	A whole product line

Turnaround: the free read takes one business day; a paid report takes two to five working days from the moment the quote is complete. One round of written questions is included in every tier.

How the fee works

Fixed fee per product, not per hour.
No commission, referral fee or free sample from any supplier, agent or marketplace — the fee is the only revenue.
The free read comes first: we confirm the product class and the right tier before you pay.
If the quote is outside scope, we say so and take nothing.
If the audit finds no credible room to bring the cost down, the fee is refunded in full.

Three of those five rules exist for one reason: the risk of paying for a report that turns out to be useless sits with us, not with you. We read the quote before you pay, we refuse work we cannot support with public data, and if the audit finds no credible room to bring the cost down, the fee comes back in full.

What is not charged

No hourly billing. The fee is the fee, whatever the modelling takes.
No subscription, no annual fee, no retainer.
No commission, referral fee or free sample from suppliers, agents or marketplaces. The fee you pay is the only revenue.
Nothing at all if the product class turns out to be outside the public data.

Before you pay

Send the quotation, the quantity and your target market. The free read comes back within one business day with one line on where the price sits and the two line items carrying the difference. If the price is fine, the read says so and there is nothing to buy.

If the gap is real, the read also states which tier fits the decision you are making — a single number does not need a $299 model, and a product line does not come out of a $29 page.

Start with the free read

No call, no sign-up, no card. The read decides whether a report is worth buying.
