01 DEFINE THE TRUE TECHNICAL CHALLENGE

Clarify vague requests to uncover the fundamental job-to-be-done. The Universe guides your scoping conversations with a structured approach to problem definition. By focusing on functions rather than specific solutions, you identify all relevant technology paths—including those hiding in unexpected places.

02 DISCOVER THE COMPLETE MOUNTAIN RANGE

Most R&D teams commit resources to climbing a single mountain without first finding the entire range of possibilities. Findest helps you discover every potential path, across scientific literature, patents, and adjacent industries before deciding which route deserves your valuable time.

03 FIND THE RIGHT PATHS TO SCOUT, DECIDE TOGETHER

Most R&D teams commit resources to climbing a single mountain without first finding the entire range of possibilities. Findest helps you discover every potential path, across scientific literature, patents, and adjacent industries before deciding which route deserves your valuable time.
