Example # 1. Segment: Mobility 4 Cities Compared:
If you wanted our top 13 indicators (around 50 data points) of mobility and public transport in Boston, Boise, Dallas and Portland this would now be:
USD $25 X 13 X 4 = USD $1,300. That’s ready-to-go, all inclusive of all slides, graphs, data formats.
Example #2. Selected Indicators 2 Cities Compared:
If you wanted to compare ease of doing business in Shanghai or Seoul for a canning business (around 30 standard Tier 1 and 10 Custom indicators) this would now be:
( USD $25 X 30 ) + ( USD $40 X 10 ) X 2 cities = USD $2,300.

Delivery. The data is checked for timeliness and updated at the time of your order. This then re-undergoes the triple-check verification process. This means fresh data, with delivery at current of 7-14 working days via email attachments. You can always request a back-up.
Best available. All data is guaranteed best available data for 30 days. Which means we will replace any data where a better alternative available open data-set, or more current at shipping data-set that is drawn to our attention. This gives you comfort to know you are presenting the best available data (not an OECD estimated statistic from 2001).
