Research intelligence

Every answer, traced to the page it came from.1

We turn a technical literature into decisions you can defend — competitor landscapes, claim verification and commissioned research, built on evidence anyone on your side of the table can check.

1 — Sources on the figure. Proven in photovoltaics, where we have 17,095 papers indexed to the paragraph; the method is the same in any of these fields.

Money moving through six technical fields in 2025: semiconductors 796 billion dollars of market revenue, solar PV 450 billion of annual investment, batteries 120 billion of market value, hydrogen 8 billion, carbon capture 6.4 billion, and solar fuels pre-commercial with no volume market yet.
What the practice does

Six things, on any body of technical literature.

01

Answer

A researched answer to a defined question, every claim carrying its source.

02

Verify

Check the claims in a deck, a patent or a press release against the published record.

03

Map

Who is working on what, how far along, and which ground nobody has taken.

04

Monitor

Watch a named set of companies or technologies and report only what moved.

05

Extract

Turn thousands of papers into a structured table you can filter, plot and export.

06

Deliver

Report, charts and the evidence behind them, in a form your team can reuse.

Eight claims from a pitch deck, each marked supported, partial or not supported, with a dot for every source backing it.
Verify

Claim by claim, before you commit.

We take the technical claims in front of you and check each against the peer-reviewed record and the organisation's own history. Where the record is silent, that is the finding.

  • A verdict on every claim, with citations
  • Red flags written for the people who have to decide
  • A call with your team — not a PDF thrown over the wall

Map

Know exactly who you're up against.

Every group and company working on a technology — what they have published, what they have demonstrated, and how close any of it is to production.

  • Named players, ranked by research activity and maturity
  • What each has shown, separated from what they have announced
  • The ground nobody has taken yet
Why we can answer this fast

The reading is already done.2

We built the research system before we sold anything with it. It indexes a literature to the paragraph, searches figures by what they show, and holds the industry record alongside the science.

A field of small marks, one per paper in the corpus, with a scattered subset highlighted to show the passages a single question rests on.

Who we work with

Six kinds of question. One method.

Investors & funds
"Does this claim hold up?"

Technical due diligence on a target before you commit.

Founders & startups
"Who am I up against?"

The competitor set, what each has shown, and where the open ground is.

R&D and manufacturing
"Where is the technology going?"

Roadmap and process benchmarking against the published record.

Procurement & supply
"What changes my supply?"

Capacity moves, material substitutions and transitions upstream.

IP & legal
"Has this been done before?"

Prior-art and landscape searches across the full published record.

Universities & labs
"What has already been tried?"

Field surveys before you commit a student or a grant to it.

Start here

Tell us the question. We'll tell you if it has an answer.

Scope, timeline and a fixed price in writing before anything starts. The first call costs nothing and usually clarifies whether there is a real question here at all.
