Use cases by audience

Identifying and validating emerging trends to inform long-term strategic planning and reduce blind spots.

Organizations use the platform to move beyond manual desk research and validate internal assumptions about the future, helping close strategic intelligence gaps early.

• Leverage multi-model AI scanning to identify weak signals and high-impact trends across STEEP categories.
• Validate theoretical objectives and prioritize R&D investments.
• Ensure strategic roadmaps align with external market shifts.

Identifying potential innovation spaces and adjacent business opportunities to accelerate ideation for new products or services.

Innovation teams use the tool during scoping and ideation to surface potential innovation spaces quickly, then shape them into actionable opportunity directions without waiting for long external research cycles.

• Map technologies against readiness levels (TRL) and impact scores.
• Identify potential innovation spaces, market white spaces, or synergies between business units (e.g., automotive and glass).
• Accelerate the fuzzy front end of innovation, reducing research time from months to minutes.

Turning emerging technology intelligence into phased, decision-ready roadmaps across near-, mid-, and long-term horizons.

Strategy and innovation teams use Research Sessions, Signals Workspace, and Radar views to structure technology bets, sequence investments, and align stakeholders around a shared execution path that remains reusable over time.

• Translate signals into phased roadmap tracks linked to technology readiness (TRL), market timing, and strategic relevance.
• Use shared Radar and workspace views to align leadership, product, R&D, and operations on priorities and dependencies.
• Continuously update roadmap assumptions with fresh signals and evidence to reduce planning drift over time.
• No delivered impact projects are published for this use case yet.

Communicating complex technology landscapes to stakeholders through interactive, structured visualizations.

Associations and industry bodies use the Radar as a communication product to showcase expertise and guide their members with more accessible strategic intelligence.

• Deploy interactive, branded radars that visualize hundreds of technologies (no static reports).
• Position the organization as a thought leader and help members navigate complex ecosystems.
• Provide a common language for discussing future developments.

Automating the labor-intensive desk research phase to focus on high-value analysis and advisory.

Consultancies and agencies use the Signals platform to replace weeks of manual analyst work and reallocate effort to strategic interpretation.

• Automate collection, deduplication, and verification of signals.
• Enter client workshops with a pre-populated, fact-checked gallery of trends.
• Focus billable hours on interpreting data, facilitating decision-making, and customizing insights.

Linking technological developments to specific regulatory goals, climate targets, or development mandates.

Government bodies and NGOs use the platform to assess how emerging technologies impact specific goals (e.g. NDCs, SDGs), improving access to decision-ready evidence.

• Understand regional applicability, economic feasibility, and social acceptance of technologies.
• Enable evidence-based policy dialogue and equipment or program acquisition decisions.

Using foresight workshops to drive cultural change, reduce AI resistance, and upskill leadership.

HR and Digital Transformation leaders use the radar and workshops as educational tools to increase future literacy among staff and spread strategic intelligence capability broadly.

• Visualize the inevitability and utility of emerging tech (e.g. AI) to address fears of displacement.
• Foster a centaur mindset (human + machine) and encourage adoption of new tools across departments.
