Questions

How is this different from a business plan?

Research answers whether to do it. A plan answers how to do it.

Do you speak to real customers?

Yes. Customer interviews are part of what you get: what real buyers say, in their own words.

Will you tell us if the answer is no?

Yes. The recommendation can be go, don't go, or go differently, and it comes with our reasons.

Can we give the report to our bank or investors?

Yes. We write it for the reader you name at the start: a bank, investors or your own team.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

We fix the dates together once the scope is agreed. You see the scope and the fee before any work begins.1

Test the idea before you spend on it.
