scid.aiReview
Understand the science and technology landscape
We accelerate technology hypothesis development
through analysis of competitors' publication activity
Technology scouting on research publications: scid.ai collects papers around a task, reveals directions and organisations, compares reported findings and limitations, and prepares an evidence base for expert assessment.
scid.ai is a corporate AI assistant for R&D departments

Hypotheses
Form technology hypotheses
Before scid.ai
- New technologies are searched for on the internet, at exhibitions or in industry journals.
- Hypotheses take months to form and depend on each employee's area of expertise.
- Technology analytics materials take days to prepare.
After adopting scid.ai
- Continuous monitoring of competitors' publication activity.
- New technology hypotheses arrive every day.
- Analytical materials are prepared 5 times faster.
A single hypothesis registry, updated every day
Every hypothesis in the registry comes with its function, technology class, TRL level, a solution description and key figures. New hypotheses arrive every day.
The scientific base behind every hypothesis
Technology genesis: two publication timelines show how the research focus shifted year by year and which claimed solution they converge on.

Subject: Comparison of CO₂ capture technologies
Compare the approaches for our process: maturity, energy consumption and limitations.
Prepare a review, a report with references and a presentation for the team. Suggest hypotheses and ways to test them.

Questions
How does technology scouting from publications differ from a literature review?
A review answers a research question; scouting answers an engineering one: which approaches solve the function, who develops them, how mature they are and what blocks adoption. In scid.ai both use the same search, graph and table; the goal and the output structure differ.
Can I monitor a technology direction continuously?
Yes: a topic subscription sends a digest of new publications, and saved candidate groups stay in the project for the next assessment cycle.
Can scouting be updated regularly?
Yes. Save the directions and use digests to return to new publications.
Start with one technology area
In a single meeting we will show the radar, the hypothesis registry and materials on your task.
