A dataset or a platform subscription: which do I need?
Buy a dataset when you need one verified table now, for a model, a deck or a budget case, at a fixed price, on a single or corporate license. Subscribe to the TQI Intelligence Platform when the question comes back and you need continuous, queryable data across companies, funding, patents and programs, with every TQI market report included.
Two products, one database
Everything The Quantum Insider (TQI) sells comes from the same source: a database of the quantum sector built by the Resonance Intelligence Engine and validated by quantum-specialist analysts. What changes between the two products is how much of it you get, how it is packaged, and how often it refreshes.
| Dataset | Intelligence Platform | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | One verified table, plus a PDF briefing | The whole database, queryable, plus the graph explorer |
| Coverage | The dataset you buy | 2,100+ companies, 2,000+ investors, 1,300+ funding rounds, patents and national programs |
| Platform access | Not included | This is the platform, one seat per person |
| Market reports | Not included | Every TQI market report included |
| Updates | The version current at purchase | Daily |
| Format | Excel workbook and PDF | Web application and API |
| License | Single user, or corporate for the whole organization | Per seat |
| Price | $2,999 single license, $5,999 corporate | Annual subscription |
When a dataset is enough
Buy a dataset when you know which numbers you need and you need them citable this week. A consultant building a market model, an investor testing a thesis, or a policy analyst benchmarking a national program all need the same thing: a verified table with sources on every row and a license that covers the deliverable they are producing. A dataset gives you that in an hour rather than a procurement cycle.
It is also the right choice when the question is genuinely one-off. If you will not ask it again next quarter, a subscription is more than you need.
When to subscribe
Subscribe when the question comes back. The platform is the live version of everything above: companies, investors, funding rounds, patents, research groups and national programs, connected through a graph explorer and refreshed daily. It also carries every TQI market report, so the analysis around the numbers arrives with the numbers rather than as a separate purchase.
Teams that check the same segment monthly, track competitors continuously, or run diligence several times a year spend less on a subscription than on repeated one-off purchases.
Where advisory fits
Neither product does the thinking for you. When the work is a national ecosystem assessment, an economic impact model, technical and commercial due diligence, or a market entry strategy, TQI's advisory team builds it on the same data. That is a scoped engagement rather than a product, and it usually starts from a platform subscription rather than replacing one.
How buyers typically move
The common path starts with one dataset for one decision and moves to a subscription when more than one person needs the answer. Nothing is wasted along the way, because the data is the same underneath. If you buy a dataset and then subscribe, tell the team when you request access and they will take the purchase into account in the quote.
