Prioritization Framework

We employ a structured analysis framework that lets you experience immediate impact. By focusing on high-value, low-risk initiatives first, we provide you with quick wins that can inform your decision to engage further with our comprehensive solutions. This approach aligns perfectly with your strategic goals and operational requirements.

Competitive Landscape Scores provide a first estimate of a relative competitive advantage an individual innovation effort may deliver. Projects with lower scores represent incremental innovation opportunities in existing markets, while new products and new market opportunities have higher scores. In addition to scores, these reports shed light into technical development and early market entry opportunities.

Business value scores ensure company values, which may be more qualitative, are considered when assessing new opportunities for your product roadmap. This score provides an opportunity to weigh scores towards fundamental values like driving existing revenue, entering new markets, creating new products, reducing carbon emissions, improving safety, and digitizing services.

FAQ's

No, you don’t need an existing IP portfolio of IP rights (Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, Trade Secrets), although we find our clients often sit on a wealth of valuable know-how.

Our goal is to deliver value within the first hour of starting. Companies often have a backlog of IP concerns that they have put off addressing. Our engagements start with an “idea capture” session. In these sessions, we gather information about your technical breakthroughs and your business’s needs and begin prioritizing the highest value IP within your company. These sessions also allow us to work independently from your team, ensuring working with us doesn’t become (another) a full-time job.

Our services fit within the planned check-ins for product and R&D development like stage gates, design-based/double diamond, agile, and lean startup methodologies. The synchronized nature of our check-ins reduces the redundancy of the technical, IP, marketing, and financial team check-ins, significantly reducing the time commitment of your hectic calendar. Similarly, the forum allows for thoughtful conversations and even IP education sessions to occur organically when the business needs information the most.

We have lawyers but are not an IP law firm because we do not give legal advice. Our lawyers have a role in IP prosecution, litigation and enforcement issues, FTO analysis, and due diligence practice. They develop strategic insights for our clients and help them modify their business goals accordingly but do not give legal advice.

We often use flat prices on most projects, hourly rates on narrow scope efforts, and retainers for long-term work depending on the needs of our clients. Contact us now for an estimate.
