Ask HN: Market Validation as a service?

I know a lot of people don't want to call up customers and talk to people or don't know the right the people to connect to. How much would you be willing to pay for a market validation report ($1000,$5000,etc.)?

Obviously if you as founder don't want to call up customers there is a good chance you probably aren't going to make it, but I guess there is always a chance. I know there are probably companies out there that will do this, but I am not sure exactly who they are and I am pretty sure they are pretty expensive. If anyone knows of such services I would like to know.
