The service · Domain monitoring

A live decision system for every technology bet you own.

We monitor each arena where you have to place bets. Core platforms and adjacent threats alike. Every one starts from your strategic questions; everything after that is our job, end-to-end.

Built on 30 years of MIT research.

01 · The flow

From question to living decision in six steps

Your first decision-grade radar arrives in weeks — not the months a one-off study takes. Then it never goes stale.

Step 01 · You askDay 101 / 06

Any strategic question, in plain language.

You describe the decision and context; we translate it into a question we feed into our system. That is all we need.

STEP 02 · WE SCOUT & LANDSCAPEWeeks 1–202 / 06

Every emerging technology in play, including the ones not on your radar.

Our AI agents scout every technology competing for the job, emerging and incumbent alike, then read every patent ever published on each one. That gives us the full developmental history of every contender.

Step 03 · We forecastWeeks 2–403 / 06

An improvement rate for every technology.

From each dataset's citation network, our forecasting method computes the Technology Improvement Rate (TIR), paired with maturity (TRL). The agents read the patents; the maths does the forecasting, validated at R² ≈ 0.7 on 150+ domains.

Step 04 · You decideWeeks, not months04 / 06

A complex call, simplified to one radar.

Every technology lands on a single radar split into four decision quadrants, fund, monitor, phase out, ignore. A decision with many competing technologies becomes one picture you can take to the board. Positions move as the evidence moves. Each quarter we re-scout the domain for new emerging technologies.

Step 05 · It stays aliveMonthly + quarterly05 / 06

The answer updates as the world changes.

Monthly updates report deltas against the baseline — never the same story re-argued. Trigger alerts fire the moment a threshold you set is crossed. A quarterly executive review turns signals into portfolio moves.

Step 06 · You go deepMonthly · per domain06 / 06

Deep-dive agents read every new filing, every month.

Each dataset carries standing questions you define. The agents re-answer them monthly over the newly published patents — the evidence layer beneath the rate.

02 · The evidence layer

The rate is the early warning.
The deep dive is the evidence.

A deep-dive agent sits on every dataset, holding every patent ever published on that technology.

Step one · the ask

Ask in plain language. The agent works out what it needs to know.

No query syntax. It breaks your question into the specific things it must extract from each individual patent, and writes the extraction prompt for each one.

Dataset · sodium-ion · every patent published on the technology

Your question

Is invention leaving the lab, and who controls the parts that matter?

The agent's plan · what to extract from every patent

01Which layer of the innovation stack does this filing sit in?
02What kind of inventive activity does it represent?
03Which value-creation frontier does it signal?
04What industrialisation or deployment signals does it carry?
Step two · the evidence table

Every question becomes a column. Every patent family becomes a row.

Sub-agents run each extraction prompt against each family in parallel. What comes back is a structured evidence table your experts can open and interrogate.

Step three · the answer

An executive summary, plus the details your experts need.

The lead agent reads the whole table at once and reports on your original question. Underneath, the table stays, so your experts keep a month-by-month record of what is changing.

The agent's reportAugust 2026 run
01Materials still dominate the filing base, but the acceleration is in manufacturing process. The pre-deployment signature.
02Control of the parts that matter concentrates in materials suppliers and cell makers, not automotive OEMs.
03Bottlenecks are well identified and being worked. No hard ceiling yet on cost, cycle life or manufacturability.

Every claim traces back to the patent families behind it. Your experts can open and interrogate the findings themselves.

03 · What lands on your desk

A service that's always on. Decision intelligence that never goes stale.

We maintain everything. Every quarter we walk you through what changed, and your experts can ask the agents anything in between.

What the system is doing in the backgroundRunning
01

Reading every new patent, worldwide

Newly published filings enter all monitored datasets as they appear.

02

Recomputing every improvement rate

Each route's TIR and maturity are re-estimated using the fresh data.

03

Moving positions on the radar

Verdicts shift as the evidence shifts. Each quarter we re-scout for newly emerging routes.

04

Watching your thresholds

Your triggers are checked on every run.

05

Re-answering your standing questions

Deep-dive agents work through the month's filings against every question you defined.

What arrives, whenCadence set to your preference
Monthly

Executive summary

What changed, what it means and what to do: movements in the rates, who entered and what kind of company they are, and re-answers to every question you defined.

Quarterly

Industry outlook

Where your industry is heading, and what senior decision-makers should be asking now.
