Question 1

What's a “cohort”?

Accepted Answer

A peer cohort is a curated set of companies with comparable economics, regulatory regimes, and strategic constraints. Lacuna defines its cohorts across all 11 GICS sectors. The list is browseable on /benchmarks.

Question 2

Why is Sector Sweep more than three Cohort Pulse subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

Sector Sweep includes sector-wide rollups across cohorts and the full set of cohorts within a sector. The math depends on the sector — for some sectors it's a better deal than 3-Pack, for others it's roughly equivalent.

Question 3

Can I switch cohorts?

Accepted Answer

On Cohort Pulse and 3-Pack, you can change your selected cohorts once per billing cycle. On Sector Sweep and Multi-Sector, your scope is fixed for the cycle but can be changed at renewal.

Question 4

What does “sponsorship” actually fund?

Accepted Answer

Editorial work to define the cohort, calibrate sector benchmarks, and produce the first scored exemplars. Coverage Sponsor revenue offsets that buildout work directly.

Question 5

Can I see what a report looks like before subscribing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — sample reports and the public benchmarks pages show structure and depth. Methodology is published in full at /methodology.

Question 6

Do you offer non-profit or academic pricing?

Accepted Answer

On request. Email research@lacunaindex.com.

Question 7

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Monthly subscriptions cancel at end of cycle. Annual prepay is non-refundable but can be paused for up to 90 days.
