Open Questions

  • Should early customers be offered a pilot tier?
  • Should startups have free basic listings?
  • Should verified vendors pay for enhanced profiles?
  • Should corporate users and vendors have separate pricing models?
  • Should Japan and U.S. pricing be different?
  • Should advisory and SaaS pricing be bundled or separate?

Current Recommendation

Start with a simple structure:

  1. Free or low-cost discovery access
  2. Paid professional team access
  3. Enterprise intelligence access
  4. Advisory projects for custom needs

Keep pricing simple until pilots reveal the strongest buyer segment.
