Stop re-inventing the wheel!

"Wait, we already solved this 3 years ago?"

Ever spent months on an R&D challenge only to discover a colleague solved it years earlier? Those painful moments of realisation when you've wasted precious time and resources duplicating work that already exists somewhere in your organisation. Findest captures your institutional knowledge before it walks out the door, ensuring your teams build on existing insights rather than starting from scratch.

Technology Overview

The costly cycle
of reinvention

Many organizations face the same problem: every few years, teams tackle identical projects without realizing their colleagues solved the same challenges previously. This constant reinvention wastes resources, extends innovation cycles, and frustrates your most talented people.

R&D Teams

R&D teams often unknowingly repeat projects their colleagues did years earlier.

This happens because:

Organizational knowledge isn't properly captured and preserved
When experts leave or retire, their insights disappear with them
Teams can't build on previous work if they don't know it exists
Universe

The Universe creates a persistent knowledge platform that:

Once you've identified promising paths from your Technology Overview, our Technology Intelligence phase helps you make informed decisions about which technologies truly meet your requirements.

Prevents duplicate efforts
by showing what's already been explored
Builds valueover time
as the system gets more effective the more data and findings are saved
Know what's been tried, what worked, what failed, and what's worth building upon

Without proper knowledge management, your R&D teams are constantly climbing mountains that others have already scaled. The Universe shows you the complete landscape—what's been tried, what worked, what failed, and what's worth building upon.

Know what's been tried, what worked, what failed, and what's worth building upon

The result? Faster innovation cycles, more efficient resource allocation, and continuous knowledge building that compounds over time.

“Findest helps you quickly grasp a new area that you’re not an expert in. Further, when you and a colleague are converging on similar research, you will see it early and work better together.”
