Competitive scan — one company profile (excerpt)

From a delivered Competitive Scan (company name redacted)
COMPETITOR 3 OF 5 — [REDACTED], Austin TX
Positioning: "Same-day service" — leads every page with speed, not price.
Pricing: Diagnostic $89 (waived on repair). Membership $19/mo includes 2 tune-ups.
Channels: Google LSA (est. 60% of leads), 4.9★ on 1,100+ reviews, no email program found.
Weak point: No follow-up after quote — we mystery-shopped and received zero contact after the initial estimate.
Implication for you: A 3-email quote-follow-up sequence would compete directly against their biggest gap.

Excerpt from a real deliverable. Full version below.

Most business decisions are made on vibes because research is priced for corporations

Between a $200 Fiverr gig and a $65,000 research firm engagement sits a gap exactly where small-business decisions live.

  • The research gap is real

    Custom market research starts around $5,000 and routinely exceeds $65,000. Freelance analysts run $40–300/hour with wildly uneven quality. Most owners just... decide, and hope.

  • Bad inputs compound

    Entering the wrong market, pricing against the wrong competitor, or copying a rival’s broken playbook costs 100× what the research would have.

  • Slides are not answers

    Much of what sells as "research" is template filler. A useful report tells you what the sources say, where they disagree, and what the author would actually do.

Scoped work, honest reporting

Source-grounded research

Every claim in the report links back to a verifiable source. No filler slides.

Structured comparisons

Competitors and options laid out side by side so you can decide in minutes.

Honest conclusions

We write down trade-offs and what we would do — the decision stays yours.

Fixed prices

Scoped deliverables at flat prices. No hourly billing, no scope creep.

What research costs everywhere else

Research firm$5,000–65,000+Excellent, slow, priced for enterprises
Freelance analyst$40–300/hrQuality lottery; you manage the scope
Gig marketplace$100–400Often recycled templates with your logo on top
SaSame Consulting$290 scan / $790 reportSource-linked, human-reviewed, fixed price, 7 business days

Every claim links to a source you can check. That is the whole pitch.

Three steps. All in writing.

Email-only delivery: no calls, no meetings. Everything arrives in writing, with a paper trail you can search later.

  1. 01

    Tell us the question

    After checkout you get an intake email. Reply with the market, competitor or decision you need researched.

  2. 02

    We research and write

    AI-powered research, reviewed line by line by a human before anything ships.

  3. 03

    Report lands in your inbox

    Everything is delivered by email — no calls, no meetings, everything in writing. One revision round included.

What the work actually looks like

Shown whole, with the reasoning in the margin. The words you could copy. The judgment behind every line, and the system that ships it every week, is what you are buying.

1. The question (as confirmed in writing)

The thinking, not just the words
Client asked: "We sell single-origin coffee online at $22/12oz. Three competitors keep undercutting us at $16–18. Do we cut price, hold, or reposition?"

Scope: 5 named competitors, pricing architecture, shipping economics, retention mechanics. Out of scope per client: wholesale channel.

4. What we would do (the judgment section)

With design notes
1. DO NOT cut to $16–18. You would be matching a packaging trick and a dying balance sheet.
2. Steal D’s mechanics, not their price: print roast dates, commit to 72h roast-to-ship, say both on the product page. Your roasting schedule already supports this — it is a messaging fix, not an ops fix.
3. Introduce a $18.50 "roaster’s choice" SKU (blend, not single-origin) as the price-shopper catcher, protecting the $22 flagship.
4. Watch C for 2 quarters; if they fold, their subscriber base churns somewhere. Be the somewhere: a "switcher" landing page costs almost nothing now.

Confidence: high on 1–2 (direct evidence), medium on 3 (assumes your margin at $18.50 ≥ 38% — confirm before launch).

Why each line is written this way

  • →Recommendations carry confidence levels, so you can see exactly where evidence is thin
  • →Each action is checkable on a Tuesday: 'print roast dates' is a task, not strategy fog
  • →We commit to a position: a report that 'it depends' you to death is not advice

“I could write this myself.”

You could google your competitors for an afternoon. The product is same-day verified pricing, archived snapshots you can audit, sources behind every claim, and a written what-we-would-do that someone is accountable for. An afternoon of googling produces impressions. This produces a decision.

No teaser. The whole thing.

What actually happens after you pay

  2. Day 1Scope confirmed in writing — exact questions the report will answer. No drift.
  3. Day 5–7Report delivered as a structured document. Every claim source-linked.
  4. Day 7–14One revision round + follow-up questions answered in writing. Refund window open.

Why so cheap? An honest answer

We are a new company with zero testimonials. We could fake some — plenty do — or we could price the risk honestly and let the work speak. We chose the second. These prices buy our first hundred reference clients; they will not stay this low.

AI has made the gathering phase of research 10× faster. It has not made judgment faster — so a human still reads every line, checks every source, and writes the "what we would do" section personally. You pay for the judgment; the gathering is nearly free now.

Honest answers

Who are you?+

SaSame SRL, a small company registered in Bucharest, Romania. We are a new team. AI agents do the heavy research work, and a human reviews every deliverable before it ships. We publish that openly instead of pretending to be a 50-person firm.

Why are your prices so low?+

Because we are new and still building a track record. AI execution keeps our costs low, and our prices reflect both facts. The review standards do not change with the price.

What does "email-only" mean?+

Everything happens in writing: intake, questions, drafts and final delivery all by email. No calls, no meetings, no scheduling. You get a paper trail of everything.

What happens after I pay?+

You receive an intake email within one business day. Reply with your question and context, and we confirm scope and delivery date in writing before starting.

How do I cancel the monthly brief?+

Reply "cancel" to any email or use the Stripe customer portal link in your receipt. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. No retention calls — there are no calls at all.

What if the report misses the mark?+

One revision round is included in every deliverable. Tell us in writing what is missing and we will rework it.

Start with one scoped piece of work.

We are a new team. Our prices reflect that. The work does not. Pick a plan, or email us your situation first. Both paths end in writing.
