Bespoke Reports
What is a bespoke report?
A bespoke report is a custom Commodity Production Costs study developed on demand when the desired production process, plant location, or capacity is not available in the standard library. The customer defines three parameters:
- Technology — The specific production process to be evaluated.
- Capacity — The plant capacity to be considered in the cost analysis.
- Location — The plant location for cost estimation.
Bespoke reports follow the same standardized structure as off-the-shelf reports, covering process description, CAPEX analysis, OPEX analysis, process diagrams, and production costs datasheet. Pricing starts at $4,000, with the final cost depending on the scope and complexity of the requested study.
After completion, bespoke reports are added to the Intratec online store and made available for purchase by other buyers. Exclusivity is available for an additional fee.
How much does a bespoke report cost?
Bespoke reports start at USD 4,000. The final cost depends on the complexity of the requested scope — a formal quote is provided before development begins, so there are no surprises.
The quote is issued within 2 business days of submitting the online request. Development starts only after the formal quote is accepted and payment is confirmed.
Is there a report for a process not in the catalog?
If the desired production process is not in the standard library, a bespoke report can be commissioned. Bespoke reports are developed on demand for specific production processes, plant capacities, and locations that are not already covered.
This is particularly relevant for emerging technologies and niche manufacturing processes. The bespoke report follows the same standardized structure as off-the-shelf reports, ensuring consistency and comparability with the rest of the library.
To check availability, browse the Commodity Production Costs catalog on the Intratec website. If the process is not listed, submit a bespoke quotation request.
Can I get a report for a specific plant location?
Two options are available for location-specific cost analysis:
- Companion Reports — Available as an add-on to the Premium edition of any standard report. A companion report provides production cost estimates based on a different plant location, using local costs for that region. It follows the same structure as the main report (approximately 25 pages, 10 tables, delivered as PDF).
- Bespoke Reports — Custom reports developed on demand. You define the production process, plant capacity, and desired plant location. Bespoke reports start at $4,000 and are delivered approximately 15 business days after payment.
Both options enable cost analysis tailored to the specific country or region of interest.
Can I keep a bespoke report exclusive to my company?
Bespoke reports are not exclusive by default. After completion, they are added to the Intratec online store and made available for purchase by other buyers.
Exclusivity is available for an additional fee. Contact Intratec for details and pricing on exclusivity arrangements.
If confidentiality is a requirement for your project, request exclusivity before development begins — the terms are agreed upon as part of the formal quotation process.
How do I request a bespoke report?
The request process is entirely online — no meetings or phone calls are required:
- Submit a quotation request on the Intratec website. A preliminary budget is shown immediately.
- A formal quote is issued by Intratec within 2 business days, including the final scope and price.
- A dedicated link is provided to select the desired edition.
- Place the order and complete payment (credit card or wire transfer).
- Report development begins after payment confirmation and is delivered in approximately 15 business days.
The scope of the bespoke report should be defined clearly before development begins, as no changes are made to bespoke reports after delivery.
Can I change the scope after a bespoke report is ordered?
No changes are made to bespoke reports after delivery. If additional modifications or updates are needed, a new request must be submitted.
It is important to define the scope — including the production process, plant capacity, and location — clearly before development begins. The formal quotation step is the right moment to align on all scope details.
How is a bespoke report different from a standard one?
Bespoke reports use the same standardized structure and methodology as off-the-shelf reports — the difference is in scope, not format.
After completion, bespoke reports are added to the Intratec online library. If exclusivity is important, it can be arranged for an additional fee.
Can bespoke reports support grant applications?
R&D teams and researchers frequently use bespoke reports to support grant applications and project justification. The reports provide:
- Up-to-date, independent CAPEX and OPEX estimates for the specific production process being proposed.
- Standardized methodology that lends credibility to techno-economic assessments submitted to funding agencies.
- Flexible scope that can be tailored to match the specific process, capacity, and location relevant to the research project.
The combination of Intratec's established methodology (developed since 2002) and the customized scope of bespoke reports makes them a practical tool for substantiating the economic viability claims in grant proposals.
How long does it take to deliver a bespoke report?
Bespoke reports are delivered approximately 15 business days after payment confirmation. The actual timeframe may vary depending on the complexity of the requested study.
Development begins only after payment is confirmed. For the fastest start, credit card payment is recommended because it is identified immediately.
