Service & fees · Fixed-scope audit

A decision brief your agency can put to work.

$499 USD · fixed scope

What you get

A five-page white-label decision brief: recommended next steps, supporting evidence, and what needs testing before more budget is committed.

What we cover

One brand, one main product, one target market, and up to three buying scenes—the situations in which someone would choose the product.

When you get it

Within 48 hours after payment and complete input confirmation. We agree fit and scope before paid work begins.

Research only. No implementation or monitoring subscription. No guaranteed AI visibility or sales.

$499 / 48 hours applies to this scope only; other questions are scoped and quoted separately. Existing quotes remain valid until their stated expiry.

One question. A practical answer.

“Should this luggage brand invest in AI Shopping?”

For Smart Birdy, the answer depended on the trip. Build a packing demonstration for one use case. Test airline fit for another. Spend nothing on a third while the product constraint remains.

The brief shows your team where to act, what to verify, and where to hold back budget.

Independent public research. Not a customer case or measured client result.

Before you get in touch

A clear scope, from the start.

What should I send first?

A one-line description of your client’s current AI Shopping or AI Search question. Include a public product URL if available; we can clarify the buying situation and deadline afterwards.

What happens before paid research starts?

We check whether the question fits, then agree the research scope, deliverable, fee, and delivery date. Sending a question does not start a paid project.

Who owns the client relationship and recommendation?

Your agency keeps the client relationship, branding, pricing, and final recommendation. Research uses public inputs; no account access or end-client meeting is required. White-label delivery is available.

Have a live client question?

What is your client trying to decide?

Send one question. Add a public product link if you have one. We agree the work and fee before anything is charged.
