The 30-day "made a better decision" guarantee.

If the report doesn't give you at least one insight you can act on, email us within 30 days and we'll refund every dollar. We can offer this because operators rarely ask — the data pays for itself on the first decision.

Pricing questions, answered.

What's the difference between the four options?

Standard ($497) is the full national report. City-Specific ($597) adds a local data cut for the metro you choose. Quarterly + Coaching ($2,000/yr) keeps one industry current all year with four updates and four 1:1 calls. All-Access ($2,997, one-time) unlocks every industry report we publish — best if you operate or invest across multiple verticals.

Which metros are available for the City-Specific report?

We cover the top 20 U.S. metros at launch — New York, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Miami, Phoenix, Boston, San Francisco, Riverside, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, Tampa, San Diego, Denver, and Charlotte. If your exact market isn't listed, we'll build the local cut for you within 48 hours at no extra cost.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Any one-time purchase credits toward an upgrade within 30 days. Most buyers start with a single report, then move to Quarterly once they see the value of ongoing data and coaching.

How current is the data?

The 2026 edition reflects the latest available data, refreshed in May 2026. Quarterly subscribers receive an updated edition every quarter, plus a coaching call to apply it.

Is this a real download or a subscription?

Standard, City-Specific, and All-Access are instant PDF downloads you own forever. Quarterly + Coaching is an annual subscription that includes the downloads plus updates and calls.

How is this different from IBISWorld or Statista?

Enterprise research is built for analysts and investors at $3K–$8K per seat per year. Consultants run $25K+ for a single project. Sherlock is built for operators — priced and structured to drive specific operational decisions, not committee debate. Every section ends with a recommended action.

Can I share the report with my team?

Standard and City-Specific reports are licensed for use within a single business or operating company. All-Access is licensed for use across a team or portfolio. Quarterly + Coaching includes team sharing within one operating company. For agency or franchise distribution, contact us about an enterprise license.

Do you offer custom research?

Yes. If you need a deeper dive into a specific market, segment, or strategic question that falls outside our standard reports, email us and we'll scope a custom engagement. Typical custom work runs $5K–$15K depending on scope.

Pick the option that fits your next move.

Most operators start with a City-Specific Report ($597) — the cleanest path from "I'm guessing" to "I know."
