Before you pick a tier.
Yes. The free Briefs stay free forever. Subscribing to a Specialist Brief or commissioning a study does not affect your free access.
Specialist Briefs are ongoing, weekly, and cover pre-defined fields. Anyone can subscribe to the same brief. Commissioned studies are one-time, bespoke in scope, and private to your organisation.
Specialist subscriptions are monthly, cancel any time, no notice period. Commissioned studies run on fixed scope once signed; the work is delivered in full.
Named InStone analysts. We do not subcontract research or outsource editorial. Each brief and each study has a named owner you can contact.
Commissioned work is covered by an NDA signed before scoping. Outputs are yours; we retain no publication rights. Specialist and free briefs are public editorial products.
