Custom Research

Commission tailored cannabis market intelligence for your specific geography, segment, or business question.

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

How It Works

  1. Describe your needs — tell us what you need to know, for what geography, and how you’ll use it

  3. Research and delivery — our team produces the research using the same methodology and quality standards as our published reports
