When Standard Reports Aren’t Enough
Our city and state reports cover the most common market intelligence needs. But sometimes you need something specific: a particular geography we haven’t covered yet, a competitive analysis for a specific license application, or investor-grade due diligence on a market opportunity.
Custom research commissions let you get exactly the intelligence you need, built with the same methodology and data standards as our published reports.
Common Custom Research Requests
- Geographic analysis — market intelligence for a city, county, or region not yet in our catalog
- License application support — competitive landscape, demographic analysis, and market data to strengthen license applications
- Investor due diligence — market assessment for a specific investment opportunity, with financial projections and risk analysis
- Tourism board assessments — cannabis tourism potential and economic impact analysis for destination organizations
- Policy briefings — cannabis market intelligence formatted for city council, planning commission, or economic development staff
- Competitive intelligence — operator landscape, market share analysis, and strategic positioning for a specific market
