What is a Concierge research study?
Concierge is a managed study, from $999, where Lewsearch writes the instrument and delivers the report. It is not a private cohort and not an enterprise contract.
What you are buying
Concierge is the done-for-you version of a Lewsearch study. You send what you need to learn and who you want asked, in plain words. A person writes the instrument, runs it on the published panel, reads the results, and sends the report. You are paying for the work, not for a pile of credits to spend later. From $999 per study, because scope varies. Bigger instruments cost more, and that number is shown before anything is charged.
The panel is the same one scored in public: 7.47% mean absolute error on 404 ex-electoral questions of a 460-question benchmark vs real polls (Pew, Gallup, UT/Texas Politics Project, PPIC). Every report labels how much to trust each result.
How the process runs
Describe the decision in your own words. Attach a doc if you have one. That step is free: no card, nothing runs. Lewsearch reflects the objective back and shows what the study will deliver. You fix anything that is wrong, then pay. A standard study is $999: your questions, one audience, the full report. A person designs it, fields it, and writes the analysis. The PDF and the data files land in your inbox within 48 hours. Start the brief on /custom-study.

What Concierge is not
This page exists because the word gets used for three other products. Concierge is not a private cohort. It is not a custom-built agent population. It is not an Enterprise engagement, a dedicated GPU, or an unlimited-resale licence. Those sit on the enterprise contract, from $90,000 a year. Concierge is also not a subscription. There are no credits to manage. You buy one finished study.
When a plan is cheaper
Starter is $595 a month for 20 studies you run yourself. If you move to Pro within 30 days of the Concierge study, we credit the full $999 toward the first month. Live prices are on pricing. A traditional human room is cited at $4,000 to $12,000.
