01Why partner with a specialist
Generalist research stores carry hundreds of thousands of titles across every industry. Good studies on foundry automation or precast concrete get buried under consumer goods. We carry fewer categories and index them deeply, so a report on hydraulic excavator aftermarket demand sits exactly where a buyer of that report is already looking.
Our audience is concentrated in the sectors you write for: strategy teams at equipment manufacturers, procurement and category managers, EPC contractors, building product suppliers, industrial investors and the consultants who serve them.
Qualified traffic
Category pages built around how engineers and procurement teams actually search, not generic market keywords.
Transparent splits
Agreed revenue share per licence type, reported monthly with order level detail.
Your terms
You set list prices, licence definitions and any embargo or regional restrictions.
02What we handle
- Cataloguing. We ingest your abstracts, tables of contents, segmentation and metadata, then optimise each listing for search.
- Pre sales. Our analysts field buyer questions, arrange samples and recommend the right title, which lifts conversion on studies that need explanation.
- Order processing. Payments, taxes, purchase orders, vendor onboarding and invoicing, including enterprise procurement portals.
- Licence enforcement. Watermarking, named user records and follow up on misuse reports.
- Reporting. Monthly statements with title level performance and buyer industry breakdown, so you see which topics are in demand.
03What we ask from you
Aggregation only works if the research is sound. Before listing, we review four things.
| Check | What we look for |
|---|---|
| Methodology | A stated base year, documented sizing approach, and a clear split between primary and secondary inputs |
| Primary research | Evidence that interviews were genuinely conducted, with respondent type and sample size disclosed |
| Currency | A revision schedule, and willingness to withdraw titles that have gone stale |
| Deliverable quality | A full sample, readable charts, and data tables that match the narrative |
We also expect a named contact for buyer questions, delivery inside agreed timelines, and a fair position on reasonable customisation requests.
