CosmosPanel invoices only on responses that have cleared every verification gate — not on field attempts, panel registrations, or estimated usable rates. Three programme tiers structured around your research operation's actual scale and compliance requirements.
A complete view of what's available at each tier — so your procurement, legal, and research teams have everything they need to make the right decision.
When your data feeds board-level decisions, regulatory submissions, or client intelligence mandates, a best-effort quality guarantee is not enough. The Command tier delivers contractually binding SLAs, a dedicated operations team, and full audit trails — because at enterprise scale, verified data is a competitive asset.
Direct answers to what research leads, procurement directors, and legal counsel ask before they engage.
B2B research costs vary substantially based on audience seniority, firmographic specificity, geographic scope, and study complexity. A C-suite study across six countries in financial services is materially more expensive to execute than a broad IT-manager study in a single English-speaking market. Publishing a flat CPI would either overprice accessible audiences or underprice difficult ones — neither outcome serves you.
We provide transparent, itemised quotes within one business day of receiving your targeting criteria. You see the exact CPI per market and audience segment, what's driving the cost, and what we can adjust to fit your budget.
A verified complete is a survey response that has passed all three signals of Tri-Link™ Identity Guard: LinkedIn professional identity corroboration, firmographic API cross-reference against your targeting criteria, and a reverse AI content scan detecting synthetic or patterned responses. The respondent must also finish within an acceptable completion window and clear our behavioural entropy check.
You are invoiced only for responses that pass every gate. Partial completions, failed verifications, and out-of-target responses are excluded from your invoice automatically. There is no minimum charge, no rounding, and no blended-rate averaging that hides poor quality in volume.
Standard professional audiences — IT managers, finance directors, marketing decision-makers — typically reach full quota within 3 to 7 business days. Senior and niche audiences — C-suite executives, specialist healthcare practitioners, very narrow firmographic segments — generally require 2 to 4 weeks.
Before your study launches, we provide a fieldwork estimate based on historical fill rates for your exact audience definition and geography. We do not quote optimistic timelines to secure a brief. If we cannot meet your deadline with the required quality, we will tell you before you commit.
If your internal quality review identifies usable response rates below your contracted threshold — using whatever methodology your team applies — we replace the shortfall at no charge within 5 business days. We do not debate methodology, impose review deadlines, or require specific quality-check tools on your side.
The contractual threshold is the standard. If we fall short of it, we fix it. This obligation is written into every contract as a binding commitment, not stated in a FAQ as a goodwill policy.
The Access tier has no platform fee and no minimum monthly commitment. You pay per verified complete only. There is no minimum study size in principle, though feasibility for very small samples — under 25 completes in niche B2B segments — should be discussed with our team before launch.
We will advise honestly on whether a study is likely to field within your timeline rather than accept the brief and miss the deadline. If your audience definition is too narrow to field reliably, we will tell you and propose a viable alternative.
GDPR Data Processing Agreements are standard on Precision and Command tiers. CCPA compliance documentation is included from Precision tier onward. HIPAA-ready provisions, multi-region data residency agreements, and ISO 27001 information security documentation are available on the Command tier.
Custom compliance reviews for regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, public sector — are scoped on a per-engagement basis and signed before your first study brief is submitted, not after data delivery. We do not work backwards from delivery to compliance.
Share your audience definition and target sample size. We'll respond with a transparent, itemised quote within one business day — no demo required to get a number.
