summary: >-
  GlobalData publishes NO pricing, tiers, quotas or overage terms for its MCP / Direct Data
  Solutions surface. Access is enterprise-only and sales-gated: the documentation's own instruction
  is to request credentials by contacting the Direct Data Solutions team, and existing clients
  request new datasets through an account manager.
plan_count: 0
plans: []
pricing_model: enterprise contract, subscription entitlement per vertical and per domain
access_path:
  - {step: 1, action: 'Contact GlobalData via https://www.globaldata.com/contact-us/ or a DDS account manager'}
  - {step: 2, action: 'State client type (Claude Desktop, claude.ai, OpenAI, Copilot Studio, custom), the vertical(s) needed, and the preferred auth flow'}
  - {step: 3, action: 'GlobalData issues credentials and, for OAuth clients, registers the redirect URI'}
entitlement_units:
  units:
    - vertical (site slug) — a subscription covers specific Intelligence Centers, not the whole gateway
    - domain — several domains carry their own entitlement on top of the vertical
  separately_entitled_domains: [contacts, market_data, fdi_projects, ict_contracts]
  note: >-
    Reports availability also varies by subscription tier, per GlobalData's own methodology table.
    None of these tiers is named or priced publicly.

      Lists six delivery methods (MCP General Access, Advanced MCP, REST API, CRM integration,
      Snowflake share, cloud data warehouse) and routes every one of them to a contact or demo form.
      No price, no tier, no quota.

    finding: >-
      A WooCommerce-backed catalog of individual data products across industries. Prices are
      rendered client-side and are NOT present in the served HTML, so no price could be read and
      none is recorded here. In any case this prices individual datasets and reports, not API or
      MCP access, so NO Pricing pointer is emitted against it.

      NOT a pricing page despite the path. It resolves to a press release titled "Pricing and
      reimbursement delays critical headwind for biopharmaceutical industry innovation". Recorded
      explicitly so a later round does not wire it as a Pricing pointer on the strength of its URL.
