Step by step process

Four-step predictive process to eliminate blind spots in your discovery process

‍

Step 1: Identify every competing technology in your domain

To make confident strategic decisions, you first need to eliminate blind spots.

Our initial analysis provides you with an exhaustive map of your technology landscape, ensuring you see every potential solution.

By identifying and clustering all competing technologies, we turn a complex field into a clear, navigable map. This allows you to instantly grasp the full range of options and understand the key innovation pathways in your industry.

Here is the complete landscape we identified for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)

Step 2: Picking up the signals from within the noise

We continue by forecasting the Technology Improvement Rate (TIR) for each major category. This gives us our first clues, showing which broad domains are advancing most rapidly.

However, this high-level view can be deceptive. As the chart shows, the improvement rates for all categories are closely clustered.

This data reveals a critical insight: a category-level comparison is insufficient to confidently pick a winner. To find the real breakthrough technologies, we dive deeper.

Step 3: Pinpointing the breakthrough technologies

Averages can hide the truth; breakthroughs happen at the individual technology level.

We shift our focus from the broad categories to a granular forecast for every single technology on the map. This precision allows us to pinpoint the true breakthroughs—those with exceptional improvement rates—and separate them from the technologies that are making only incremental gains.

This provides an unambiguous guide for your R&D focus and investment strategy.For DLE, this granular view instantly revealed the top performers:

Step 4: Plotting your ‘Technology Radar’

Every technology investment needs a clear thesis. In Step 4, we provide it by mapping performance against maturity.

By plotting each technology's improvement rate against its maturity, we create a clear strategic guide that tells you how to act

From a 30-Minute Meeting to a 6-Month Head Start.

A customized technology landscape: We'll present an instant overview of all emerging technologies in your specific area of interest, helping you eliminate blind spots from the start.

A predictive outlook: We won't just show you the technologies and the players; we'll compare their technologies using our objective "improvement rate" metric. You'll see which technologies are poised to win over the next few years.

Actionable, data-driven insights: Walk away with concrete, objective insights powered by modeling global innovation data, not subjective opinion. Use this intelligence to make informed strategic R&D investments and innovate faster.

GetFocus Analysis Comparison

Traditional Analysis	The GetFocus Predictive Engine
Reactive: Based on market research and expert panels that tell you what's already known.	Predictive: Analyzes patent data to reveal innovations 5-10 years before they impact the market.
Biased: Influenced by hype cycles and the limited scope of human experts.	Objective: Measures technologies with data-driven metrics like Knowledge Flow and Cycle Time.
A Black Box: You get a conclusion without seeing the underlying data.	Transparent: We show you the signals, the improvement rates, and the data that proves our forecast.
