Common questions
Before you subscribe.
Tier-level questions about how the Specialist Briefs work. Questions specific to one field sit on each brief’s own page.
The first fifty subscribers per brief lock £29 per month for their first twelve months, instead of the standard £49. The rate applies for the full year from sign-up. After the cohort closes or your first year ends, you move to the standard price. It is our way of saying thank you to the readers who back the brief before there is a long back catalogue to read.
Yes. All Specialist subscriptions are monthly, cancel any time, no notice period. You keep access through to the end of your paid period.
Each brief has a named InStone analyst who owns it end to end. You can reach them by reply to any issue. No subcontracted research, no outsourced editorial.
Commission a Custom Brief. We build a weekly specialist brief scoped to your field, your sources, your decision horizon. Setup fee plus weekly subscription.
Yes. Every issue is structured around the week ahead, not the week past. TL;DR of what is coming, one featured development with its trajectory, longer signals building over four to eight weeks, implications for the reader.
Specialist subscriptions are for one named reader. For team and enterprise access with named-seat allocation, SSO, and optional custom brief inclusion, see Business Seats.
