Commissioned intelligence
For funds, agencies, operators and development institutions that need the analysis pointed at their own question rather than the public one.
From $199 / month, or quoted per engagement.
- Commissioned intelligence on your question
- Private briefings for your team
- Custom indicator tracking
- Named analyst contact
Do articles go behind a paywall?
No. Public analysis stays public and free to read. Paid tiers add depth on top: research reports, indicators, the archive, downloadable data and early access.
What does annual actually save?
Annual bills ten months and gives you twelve. Signal Pro is $90, Intelligence Pro $190, Research / Team $490.
Can I change or cancel a plan?
Any time, from your account. Upgrades are prorated. Cancelling leaves access running to the end of the period you already paid for.
How many seats come with Research / Team?
Five, each with its own login. Larger groups are handled through Institutional.
What makes Institutional different?
It is commissioned work rather than a subscription: research aimed at your specific question, private briefings and named analyst contact. It starts at $199 a month and is usually quoted.
Which currency, and are taxes included?
All prices are in USD. Any local VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where it applies.
