What This Revenue Model Is
McKinsey charges $100,000 and more for industry reports. Most of their analysts have never worked a day inside the industry they are reporting on. You have. That inside view is worth a premium no external analyst can match.
One report a year, sold many times over.

subscription
tier option
You produce the report once and sell it across an entire industry, then refresh it annually. The recurring cadence and reuse are what make it an Asset.
Syndicated industry reports commonly sell for $1,500 to $8,000 each, most often $3,500 to $4,000, with subscription access as a recurring alternative.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 syndicated research pricing (Small Business Expo, Kentley Insights, Grand View).
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
