Bespoke Production Cost Report

Assess the economic feasibility of any manufacturing process

With more than two decades dedicated to analyzing production technologies, Intratec has evaluated over a thousand industrial processes and emerging routes worldwide. Backed by a solid methodology, the Intratec team can deliver highly reliable techno-economic assessments in just a few weeks — a sharp contrast to small in-house teams, which often lack experience in this type of study and spend months producing less consistent results.

So if the process you need is not yet covered in our library of 850+ reports, you can request a bespoke report. Developed on demand, these reports focus precisely on the production route of your interest — whether a patented pathway, a lab-scale process, or an alternative technology highlighted in technical papers. The report will be built on assumptions you define — such as industrial plant capacity, location, and technology — while maintaining the same rigor and consistency of our off-the-shelf Commodity Production Cost reports.

As all Intratec Production Cost Reports, the bespoke report will be based on recent economic data (Q2 2025), and will include:

  • Process Description: raw materials and utilities consumption, products generation, labor requirements, list of equipment, characterization of site infrastructure, process flow diagram (PFD)
  • Capital Cost Analysis: costs of plant construction, working capital, owners' costs, commissioning, start-up and contingency
  • Operating Cost Analysis: variable costs, fixed costs (salary, benefits & maintenance) and corporate overhead costs

And much more . . .

Straightforward steps, rapid response

Request in Three Steps

1
Think About the Scope

First, align with your team on the scope of the analysis: think about the target commodity, process technology, plant capacity, and location. Additional assumptions and references (e.g. patents, articles) will help guide the study. The clearer the scope, the more valuable the Bespoke Report.

2
Request a Quote

Submit the online form with your defined scope and supporting data. Our team will review it and, within 3 business days, send the final quote and payment instructions. The quote is non-binding — you only move forward if it makes sense for you.

3
Development & Delivery

Once payment is confirmed, we develop the bespoke Commodity Production Costs report fully aligned with the assumptions you defined. Delivery happens within a few weeks, with the report following the same structure as our Production Cost reports.

Typical Use Cases

Over the years, our Bespoke Production Cost Reports have been successfully used in multiple ways.

service image

Evaluate emerging processes and innovative routes — from patents and technical articles to lab-scale concepts — supporting R&D teams with preliminary techno-economic assessments.

service image

Assess different scenarios of a single project by adjusting assumptions such as capacity, location, integration of utilities, or by-product generation — enabling sensitivity analysis and evaluation of alternatives.

service image

Compare the economics of alternative projects or configurations, supporting investment screening and helping decision-makers prioritize the most competitive opportunities.

service image

Provide a robust techno-economic foundation for technology selection studies and early-stage conceptual projects, helping organizations compare alternatives and guide strategic decisions.

service image

Understand the cost structures of suppliers and customers by modeling plants at relevant scales and locations, supporting negotiations, benchmarking, and strategic alignment across the value chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bespoke Production Cost Reports adhere to a fixed structure consistent with Intratec's standard Commodity Production Cost Reports. The only variability lies in the scope of customer-defined assumptions, such as technology routes or plant capacities, ensuring methodological consistency. Requests for format changes or additional analyses cannot be met.

After payment confirmation, a bespoke report is typically developed and delivered within about 15 business days. However, this timeframe may vary based on the complexity of the request. Intratec's methodology ensures faster delivery compared to lengthy internal studies, which can take months.

Learn more

The starting price for a bespoke report is USD 4,000. The final cost varies based on complexity, including the novelty of the process and required references. Before development, a formal quote is provided to ensure transparency about costs and delivery schedules.

Learn more

Bespoke reports are not exclusive by default and can be purchased by other customers after delivery. However, if a company needs exclusive access, meaning the report will not be publicly available, this can be arranged for an additional fee.

Learn more

Once a Bespoke Production Cost Report is delivered, no changes or adaptations can be made. Any requests for modifications or new assumptions necessitate a new bespoke request. Therefore, customers must thoroughly define the report's scope at the start to ensure it meets their needs.

Learn more

After defining the scope, Intratec provides a quote with price and delivery details. To proceed, customers can select report editions and finalize payment via credit card or bank transfer. Once payment is confirmed, development of the bespoke report begins, and delivery occurs as scheduled.
