Tier-1 investment banks have corporate underwriting conflicts with European primes, publish formula-stripped static PDFs, and focus almost exclusively on liquid large-caps. Quartz Sea is 100% independent with zero banking conflicts: we track sovereign procurement gazettes months before earnings prints, map single-source Tier-2/Tier-3 component monopolists, deliver unlocked editable Excel DCF models, and allow institutional desks to commission custom coverage on demand.
Subscribers receive around 2–3 thematic sector primers and 1–2 initiating equity coverage reports each month. Quarterly earnings teardowns and flash updates are dispatched whenever price targets are reached or material contract awards occur, alongside our three regular intelligence briefings: the Daily OSINT Brief (Daily at 9:00 CET), the Daily Market Wrap (Mon-Fri at 18:00 CET), and the Weekly Euro Brief (Saturday at 11:00 CET).
At $240/year ($20/month equivalent), you pay less than $0.66 a day for the exact same proprietary tactical platform (QS Terminal) and sovereign gazette tracking used by institutional desks. If you allocate even €5,000 across European defense equities, a single 1% gain or avoided drawdown covers your entire annual subscription. You subscribe via Stripe with zero contract lock-in and can cancel anytime in one click.
Standard ($30/mo or $240/yr) gives individual allocators complete access to all structural sub-sector primers (missiles, chemicals, aerostructures), actionable trade baskets, macro analysis, our three daily/weekly briefings, and all 8 modules of the QS Terminal, whereas Premium ($500/mo or $5,000/yr) adds our full institutional single-stock equity coverage dossiers (25–40+ page deep dives on European defense equities like Rheinmetall, Saab, and Thales), formal ratings, 12-month price targets, and rapid quarterly earnings teardowns.
For the same annual price point as Premium ($5,000/yr per seat), the Enterprise Plan unlocks direct analyst access and custom deliverables: monthly 30-minute private strategy calls with research leadership, bespoke analysis requests (commission custom coverage on European defense tickers of your choice), priority direct email desk Q&A (up to 5 queries/month), downloadable editable Excel DCF models, team desk licensing under a Master Services Agreement (MSA), and corporate wire invoicing with Net 15/30 terms.
No. Downloadable, editable Excel spreadsheet models and bespoke DCF builds are strictly reserved for Enterprise clients under an executed Master Services Agreement (MSA). Individual subscribers receive the complete written research dossiers, charts, and quarterly updates.
