> For each unit sold, we only ask for a small commission.

Have you gotten any companies to agree to a royalty like this or is this just the initial monetization idea. I can see them paying 5 figures for a final report, but not a royalty on their bottom line sales.

We take your feedback so seriously that we're willing to answer it twice!

As Mike said, currently we are going with a commission-based monetization strategy for the MVP, and based on feedback, it is subject to change.

Of course, we have many monetization strategies/features/mechanics we'd like to play with in the future, and they'll always be for the benefit of our users and the companies we work with.

Thank you for commenting! This is the initial idea at the moment. It makes sense to us because a commission on each unit means that companies pay more if they get more reviews. So far, none of the companies have brought up any problems with this scheme, but we will definitely be trying to solidify our monetization strategy as we partner with more companies.
I misunderstood this. I thought you meant on each unit sold in the future...not just to your reviewers.
