Home Track Record Research About Retainer
How It Works
Four steps, start to finish.
01

Inquiry

Reach out with a company in mind, or the parameters you want covered — sector, market cap, a thesis you're testing. Either works.

02

Scope

A short exchange to confirm the format — single report or ongoing retainer — plus depth, timeline, and pricing before anything begins.

03

Deep Dive

The same 15-step process behind every published memo. If you handed me parameters instead of a company, this is where I do the screening and pick the name.

04

Delivery

A complete written memo, delivered privately. If it's a retainer, this repeats on the cadence you set - new names, same process.

Same depth. Fraction of the cost.

Fully-loaded annual cost

Kilcullen Smikle Research
~5%
of the cost of a traditional analyst
Same 15-step process Same rigor, far lower cost

Pricing is custom and based on scope, volume, and cadence.
