For government

Find what can solve the mission.

Requirements rarely fail for lack of a solution. They fail because the solution was developed in another program, another service, or another industry, and nobody connected the two.

What you can do

  • Submit needs and requirements in plain language
  • Search public and authorized private capabilities together
  • Surface non-obvious and cross-domain technologies
  • Discover previous federal R&D before funding it again
  • Identify capable organizations and laboratories
  • Build candidate capability configurations for technical review

How it works

01

Discover beyond the obvious

Search patents, laboratory technologies, federally funded research, facilities, and mission opportunities through one connected layer rather than six disconnected databases.

02

Understand what it can actually do

A technical document is translated into mechanisms, inputs, outputs, operating conditions, performance characteristics, and limitations — the properties you can reason about, rather than the words the inventors happened to use.

03

See the relationships search misses

Inventors, laboratories, rights holders, research sponsors, prior awardees, complementary technologies, and potential end users — the graph around a record, not the record alone.

04

Turn discovery into a pathway

Assemble a candidate configuration, identify the licensing or collaboration route, name the organizations that could build it, and connect it to the funding that could move it.

What we will not claim

Generated applications and combinations are hypotheses, labelled as such, with an evidence confidence reported separately from how promising they look. Patent status and term are estimates with their assumptions attached. Historical records are labelled historical. Where a source is not yet connected, the page says so instead of showing an empty feed as though it were a live one.
