Inputs: company (e.g., Mozilla), strategy (e.g., Shutting down the bookmarking service Pocket and refocusing on AI), and geography (e.g., Southeast Asia).

Integrate patent and trademark data to identify emerging innovation clusters, leading market players, and untapped whitespace opportunities. The flow analyzes recent filings, branding trends, and IP concentration to assess competitive positioning and guide strategic expansion decisions. It concludes with a synthesis of key players, IP maturity signals, and recommendations for market entry or differentiation. Inputs: topic (e.g., Green Hydrogen).

Quickly judge a new business idea by aligning it to company strategy, checking innovation signals, auditing internal capabilities, validating the problem and customer pain, sizing market conditions, and sanity-checking the first solution concept. The flow scores each area (0–5), explains the rationale, and rolls everything up into a clear go/no-go recommendation. Inputs: company (e.g., Siemens), and idea (e.g., AI vision system for predictive maintenance in industrial plants).

Evaluate and optimize go-to-market strategies by mapping key distribution channels, analyzing how competitors reach their customers, and identifying the most effective models for your product or technology. The flow compares channel frameworks, benchmarks best practices, and synthesizes insights into an actionable GTM strategy with opportunities and challenges clearly defined.
