Find out if the demand is real.
BGG hype doesn’t pay print runs. Before you commit to 2,000 copies, find out if the noise in your comments is actual buying intent — or enthusiasm that evaporates at checkout.
A structured PDF report,
delivered by a real person.
Not a scraper. Not a dashboard. A reviewed report that tells you where the signal is coming from and what to do next.
Language & territory breakdown
Which languages are actually being requested, from which countries, and how strong the signal is per market.
Buyer intent classification
Casual fan interest, genuine buyer demand, and commercial intent are not the same thing. The report separates them.
Suggested next route
Reprint, localization, partner pitch, retail validation, or wait for more data. Based on the actual signal, not optimism.
Source-backed signals
Crowdfunding comments, BGG threads, retailer emails, distributor feedback. Every signal is traceable.
Reprint & retail signals
Retailer preorder interest, distributor territory feedback, and campaign-specific store demand.
Honest assessment
We tell you when the signal is not strong enough. Comments alone rarely change production decisions.
Four steps from request to report.

Crowdfunding, BGG, forums, retailer and distributor sources relevant to your title.

Before you ask.
Where does the data come from?
Public and semi-public sources relevant to your title: crowdfunding comments and updates, BoardGameGeek threads, forums and communities, plus retailer and distributor signals collected on Locapublish. Every signal in the report is traceable to its source.
Why not just read the comments ourselves?
You can — but comments mix casual fans, real buyers and commercial interest in one pile. The audit separates them by language, country, buyer type and intent, and ends with a concrete recommended route instead of a gut feeling.
What if there isn’t enough signal?
We check signal volume as soon as your order comes in. If there isn’t enough to say something useful, we refund you in full and suggest how to collect more first — for example by listing the title on Locapublish.
Is our report kept confidential?
Yes. Your report is delivered only to you. We don’t publish it or share it with other publishers or partners without your permission.
How and when do we pay?
Mini and Standard audits are paid by card when you order, through Stripe. You get a receipt and an invoice by email. Portfolio audits are quoted first and invoiced after you accept.
Can we start for free instead?
Yes. You can list a title for free during Early Access and start collecting structured signals. The audit is for when you need an answer now, backed by a reviewed report.
Tell us what you’re deciding.
Mini and Standard: fill in the form, then pay by card. Portfolio or not sure yet: we reply within one business day with a fixed quote.
