2. Research Model
If your data needs do not fit nicely into a pre-determined region, period, or set of data attributes found on YE, BDRC will aggregate and model custom regions to your specifications. Your scope can be a combination of any field variable in YTS including (but not limited to) cities, counties, states, CBSAs, zip codes, stock ticker, and NAICS. We will work with you on developing a scope where you receive the most amount of data for the least cost.
| Options | Scope | Cost | Additional Scope |
| Custom Scope | All field variables and all years (1997-2019) in YTS are available to customize your research | $975 Records < 5000 $1900 Records > 5000 | $125/hour |
• An additional scope fee will be charged when initial scope is amended after receiving results.
• YE+ Online subscribers will have additional scope costs waived!
