Run 15-question diagnostics for as many places as you need, invite others to answer the same questions, see where their ratings agree and split, and keep every result in one evidence base you can question and compare over time.

More than one community

Pay for each workspace. Each additional workspace costs less.

A workspace is the home base for one community’s ecosystem work. Every workspace includes everything in Pro: unlimited diagnostics, group diagnostics, and analysis.

Annual price for each workspace
WorkspacePrice each, per year
1st (your own)USD $499
2nd to 3rdUSD $449
4th to 11thUSD $399
12th to 21stUSD $349
22nd and upUSD $299

Any workspace can run diagnostics about any place. Add a workspace for a community that wants to run its own diagnostics, report to its own council, and keep its own results.

County

From USD $499 a year

For a county. Towns that want to run their own work can join with their own workspace at the network rate.

Example: the county’s own workspace.

Region or network

From USD $1,397 a year

For a regional organization or network, such as a regional innovation network, and its member communities.

Example: 1 network workspace plus 10 communities.

Province or State

From USD $2,195 a year

National

For national bodies and programs.

Priced for your program.

Do we need a workspace for every place we cover?

No. Any workspace can run diagnostics about any place. The county can run a diagnostic about a town. A workspace lets the town run its own.

Can we pay for workspaces and give them to our communities?

Yes. Each community owns its workspace and its results. Paying for a workspace does not give you access to its private reports. Workspaces you pay for but have not given to a community stay available until your plan renews. They are not refunded.

Can we add workspaces later?

Yes. A workspace added later is priced at the next rate in your plan, not at the first-workspace price.

We belong to a larger network. Do we share its rate?

Rates count the workspaces your organization pays for. A community that joins your network with its own workspace pays the network’s next rate, by invoice. Linking plans to share results is free. A body that pays for its whole network on one plan gets a quote.

Can we pay in our own currency?

Prices are shown and billed in Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian and New Zealand dollars, Swiss francs, and Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish kroner. Other countries pay in US dollars. Tax is added at checkout where it applies.

Can we pay for more than one year?

Pay 2 years upfront for 10% off, or 3 years for 20% off. By invoice, until December 31, 2026.

Pro

What Pro adds to the free report

The free diagnostic tells you where one place stands from one point of view. Pro is for the next step: hearing from the other people who know the place, comparing places, and keeping the evidence together.

Group diagnostic results showing how several participants rated each question

Group diagnostics

Invite the people who see the ecosystem differently. Each answers the same localized questions on their own, and the results show which questions the group agrees on and which split it.

Table showing where each place rates higher or lower than the group average

Comparison across places

Run the diagnostic for several places and see where each one rates higher or lower than the group. Territory and portfolio views keep the comparison current as new reports come in.

Recommended action for Decatur naming local partners and the research basis

Every recommended action, not the top three

The free report shows the three highest-priority actions. Pro shows all of them, plus findings and actions for each of the 35 sub-dimensions and the research behind each one.

An evidence base that grows

Every diagnostic, group session, and deep dive is saved to one searchable evidence base. Ask follow-up questions and get answers drawn from your own reports, and repeat the diagnostic to measure change.

What a customer found

“Very closely aligned with a $100K government study of our region, and it surfaced an angel investment gap the study had missed entirely.”

Trevor

Economic Development Officer, Lethbridge County, AB

$100Kgovernment study it matched, using the free diagnostic

That was one person's free report. Pro is for asking the same questions of everyone else who knows the region, and keeping the answers together.

Ian Barker — Founder, The Groundbreakers

“I built Ecosystem Navigator because economic development professionals deserve structured, research-backed analysis of their own region. Every question and recommendation comes from a framework I developed over two years, drawing on 50+ interviews with ecosystem leaders.”
