Intelligence that stays useful.

Most research intelligence ends up as a slide deck that gets filed away. We deliver yours as an interactive dashboard your team can explore independently, long after the project closes. Built around your questions. Yours to keep.

Know the landscape before you move.

Rigorous search and analysis, always structured around your commercial question and delivered with a clear “So what? Now what?” conclusion your team can act on immediately.

Freedom to Operate
Understand your risk before you invest

A structured assessment of whether a product, formulation, or process is free to commercialise, identifying relevant third-party patents and providing a clear risk picture before scale-up.

Landscape Analysis
Map the competitive terrain across all relevant sources

Full competitive mapping across a technology space, drawing on patents, scientific literature, and other tagged sources. Covers who owns what, where the white space is, and how the field is moving. Delivered with a live interactive dashboard.

State of the Art
Anchor R&D decisions in what the science says

Structured synthesis of patents and scientific literature to establish the current state of knowledge in a technology area, supporting innovation strategy, R&D prioritisation, and patent prosecution.

We design and implement monitoring programmes that give you time to respond, including automated alerts, monthly briefings with strategic context, and scenario planning.

Not just patents. Everything that matters.

Patent databases tell you what competitors have protected. But the full intelligence picture is wider: what the published science says, what regulators are signalling, and what the commercial landscape looks like.

Our dashboards are built around tagged datasets that can incorporate any combination of source types. Every record is classified against a shared taxonomy, so you can filter, cross-tabulate, and compare across sources in a single view.

If it can be tagged and structured, it can be built into the dashboard.

The taxonomy and source mix are always designed around your specific technology area and commercial questions, not applied from a generic template.

Patents

Global patent databases covering filings, grants, legal status, and assignee activity across all major jurisdictions.

Scientific literature

Peer-reviewed publications, preprints, and clinical study results tagged to the same taxonomy as the patent dataset.

Regulatory filings

EFSA, FDA, and other regulatory submissions that signal what ingredients and claims are moving through approval pipelines.

Commercial data

Market launches, product registrations, and commercial activity that contextualise the IP and science landscape.

Trade publications

Industry press, conference proceedings, and technical reports that provide early signals ahead of formal filings.

Your internal data

Existing datasets, prior studies, or internal R&D records can be tagged and incorporated alongside external sources.

Interactive dashboards

No platform fees. No generic templates. No shelf life.

Every landscape study includes a bespoke interactive dashboard built around your taxonomy and your strategic questions. No subscription. No per-user licence. Yours to keep permanently.

Built for your landscape. Not a generic template.

Subscription platforms charge significant annual fees on top of the underlying analysis. Their dashboards are built around their taxonomy, not yours, and they stop working when your subscription does.

Every dashboard we build is purpose-designed for the specific landscape we have analysed. It is delivered as part of the project, at no additional cost, and remains yours without any ongoing commitment.

Because it is a self-contained file, it can be shared securely with your team, presented in meetings, and accessed offline, with no login and nothing to maintain.

Built around your landscape. Delivered with your analysis.

01
We define the scope

We work with you to define the commercial question, the relevant source types, and the taxonomy dimensions that matter for your technology area and competitive questions.

02
We retrieve and classify

We search across all agreed source types, retrieve the relevant records, and classify every item against the taxonomy. Every tag is checked and validated.

03
We deliver the intelligence

You receive a written analysis with clear conclusions, plus an interactive dashboard your team can explore at any time, in any setting, without any software or subscription.

Is the dashboard included in the project fee?

Yes. The interactive dashboard is a standard part of every landscape study we deliver. There is no additional charge.

Can the dashboard include scientific literature as well as patents?

Yes. Any source type that can be retrieved and tagged can be incorporated. Patents and peer-reviewed literature are the most common combination, but regulatory filings, trade publications, and your own internal data can also be included. All records share the same taxonomy so you can filter and compare across source types in a single view.

Do we need to install any software?

No. The dashboard is a single file that opens in any modern web browser. Nothing to install, no account to create.

Is the taxonomy built around our classification system or yours?

Yours. The taxonomy is designed as part of the project scoping process, built around the dimensions most relevant to your technology area and the questions you are trying to answer.

What happens to the dashboard after the project ends?

It remains yours, permanently. No subscription, no expiry, no dependency on our systems. You can open it in five years and it will work exactly as delivered.

Can you build a dashboard for data we already have?

Yes. If you have an existing dataset you would like to turn into an interactive dashboard, we can discuss what is involved. Contact us to find out more.
