Opportunity Assessment: On-demand, bespoke research reports

Heya, I'm building a platform for on-demand, bespoke high quality research reports. Basically, you visit our platform, submit a business/investment research request, and within 48-72 hours you receive an extremely high quality ~20pg report produced just for you, answering your specific request in detail. For example, you could ask for an overview of the global market for smartphones, or you can ask a more specific question like "Apple tanked in the Chinese smartphone market in Q4 2018, why did it tank and what's its outlook for 2019?" Or you can ask for daily updates on M&A transactions in a given industry/geography, or literally whatever you request you need. Industry/sector/geography agnostic. We're currently in beta but have tested with folks with high requirements at Fidelity, Goldman, McKinsey, others, and the response has been very strong.

I'm curious: 1) Do you see a need for this on Wall Street, and if so what types of companies need it most? 2) How would you price a premium product? Per page? How much per page? 3) Would it be useful to have an outsourcing vendor to send ALL desk research to, not just premium asks? 4) How long does it take analysts to produce an industry/sector/equity research report? Ballpark estimate? 5) Caveats/pitfalls/watchouts?

Thanks all, any insight you could share would be great. Happy to have priv convos if anybody is open to it.
