Scan · Technology

Map a technology landscape in one sitting.

See what's real, who's building it, how mature it is — across an industry, a technical field, or a region. Grounded in product pages, standards activity, and scientific publications, not press releases.

About 25 minutes.

What it does

Three things, on every run.

  • Catalogues technologies in your scope by maturity, vendor, and standards activity.
  • Distinguishes deployed from piloted from announced, with citations behind each placement.
  • Surfaces second-order tech — the things your category is about to depend on.
Live example

Here's what this scan actually produces.

Run on the theme Biotech platform shifts with 30 frontier models. 130 unique signals after dedup, 54 confirmed by two or more models.

Each node = one signal. Angle by category, distance from centre by verifiability, size by ensemble convergence.

What you walk away with

Concrete artifacts, not a vibe.

  • A technology inventory grouped by maturity tier: deployed, piloted, announced, research.
  • Per-technology vendor lists with the public evidence behind each entry.
  • A second-order radar — what's downstream of what you're tracking.
Best for

When this scan earns its keep.

  • Product & technology

    Working through a make-vs-buy call and need to know what already exists.

    CTOs, product leads

  • Product & technology

    Doing vendor selection in a category moving fast enough that last year's analyst report is stale.

    Procurement, architecture

  • Founders & chiefs

    Pitching internally and need a defensible read on competitive technical position.
