# What are people in my market saying this month, without a subscription?

The One-Topic Market Snapshot from Verbatim, by Gerard Blokdyk of The Art of Service, is a one-off file of this month's podcast moments on one topic, drawn from 900+ business and technology podcasts. Each moment carries the speaker, show, date and a link that plays the exact second. It is a single purchase, quoted by hand, for people who want one answer, not a plan. The Free plan stays free, and Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month.

## This is for you if

- I don't want another subscription.
- I only need one topic, once.
- AI summaries paraphrase; I need the actual words.
- I need to know who said it.

## The One-Topic Core Sample

It shows a month of one topic as a drill core cut through four weekly layers, each fleck a moment you can play.

- **Week one**: the newest moments on your topic, read these first
- **Week two**: what was repeated, and by which roles
- **Week three**: numbers operators said out loud
- **Week four**: the oldest layer, where a trend started

## How do you read a snapshot in 10 minutes?

1. Read the newest week first, quotes only.
2. Mark every quote that carries a number.
3. Play the two that would change a decision, at the second.
4. Note which roles keep saying the same thing.
5. Keep the file: every link still plays next month.

## Snapshot, Free or Pro?

| Compare | Snapshot | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | quoted by hand, once | USD 0 | USD 29 a month |
| Topics | one | 3, every Monday | up to 50 |
| Window | this month | last 7 days | last 30 days |
| Every quote plays at the second | yes | yes | yes |

If you need one topic once, the snapshot fits. If you want it every week, the Free plan or Pro does it with no request.

## FAQ

### Is there a one-off podcast research report without a subscription?

Yes. The Verbatim One-Topic Market Snapshot is a single file of this month's podcast moments on one topic, quoted by hand and paid once. There is nothing to cancel. Every moment carries the speaker, show, date and a link that plays the exact second it was said.

### What is the difference between the snapshot and Verbatim Pro?

The snapshot is one topic, one month, one file, paid once. Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month for up to 50 topics, a 25-name watchlist with next-morning alerts, 30-day search and CSV export. The snapshot suits one question; Pro suits a market you follow every week.

### How fresh are the moments?

The Verbatim library updates every day from 900+ business and technology podcasts. A One-Topic Market Snapshot covers the month before it is delivered, so the newest moments may be only days old. Each moment shows the date of the episode it came from.

### Can I pick any topic?

Name it in your own words. Gerard checks the request against the Verbatim library first, and if there are too few first-hand moments on the topic this month, the reply says so before any fee is quoted. Broad topics may be narrowed so the snapshot stays readable.

### How are quotes checked?

Every quote in a Verbatim snapshot links to the second it was said and plays from that second, so you can check it yourself. Shows flagged as possibly machine-made are reviewed by a person, and excluded shows never appear. If a link is broken or an attribution wrong, Verbatim refunds.

### Can I upgrade to Pro later?

Yes, at any time, and nothing about the snapshot changes. Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month, cancel any time, and keeps the same kind of moments arriving on up to 50 topics. The Free plan is another option: a Monday brief on 3 topics, free for as long as you like.
