You're judged on the future,
but your entire day is the present
GetFocus is a decision-intelligence system for high-stakes R&D technology bets. We map competing technology routes, measure which are improving fastest, and turn the evidence into clear decisions: fund, watch, partner, phase out, or ignore.
Trusted by global innovators.
Most organizations are built to solve today's problems
You're the one expected to see what's coming next.
You're not behind,
the methods are
The problem is not a lack of effort.
It's that every method available to you was built for a world that moves slower than technology does.
Your organization
Built to execute in the present. Structurally challenged at sensing what's emerging next.
Experts and advisors
The landscape shifts faster than any expert can keep up with.
Trend tools
They show what's popular. Not what's actually improving fastest.
Conferences and your network
Valuable context. But you're still making career-defining bets without enough evidence.
From strategic intent to decision-grade technology intelligence
You define the challenge. We map the routes, measure what's improving, surface the decision, and keep watching what changes next.
Define the challenge
Strategic Intent
You bring the technology questions that matter most, in plain language. No assumptions required. We translate them into a monitored domain.
Surface the landscape
AI Technology Scouting Agent
We scan and filter global patent data to map every technology route relevant to your question, including the ones not yet on your radar.
Measure what's actually improving
AI Patent Landscaping Agent
For each route, we measure Technology Improvement Rate and Technology Readiness Level. TIR comes from the structure of global patent citation networks. It's a deterministic signal, not an LLM guess, so you can compare competing routes on the same scale.
Turn it into a strategic decision
Decision Making Matrix
Every route is plotted on a single board-ready view: where to act now, where to watch, where to phase out, and what to ignore. The radar gives you and your board one shared picture of the technology landscape.
Continuous monitoring & Strategy
Smart Alerts, Monthly Reports & Quarterly Strategy
Your domain stays live. Alerts when something crosses your thresholds. Monthly reports on what moved. Quarterly strategy reviews with GetFocus analysts on what changed and what to do about it.
From gut feel to
evidence-based technology bets
Know which technologies matter
Know which routes deserve action. Focus time, budget, and attention on the technology routes most likely to shape your market.
Know what signals should trigger action
Use defined signals and thresholds to move from watching to investing at the right moment.
Reduce strategic blind spots
Surface emerging threats and opportunities across industries before they hit your market.
Backtested against historical technology shifts
These curves are Technology Improvement Rates, measured from citations in patent data.
They answer: which technology is improving the fastest?
The same method runs on every emerging route we track today.
Lithium-ion versus Hydrogen
- The signs of EV disruption were detectable already in the early 2000’s.
- ️An OEM watching this signal in 2005 would have seen the EV transition forming a decade before it reshaped the industry.
Online payments versus cash
- The patent signal for digital payments showed strong improvement as early as 1996.
- PayPal launched in 1998, and the category pulled far ahead of cash transactions as the infrastructure improvement compounded. The TIR had called it years before the market caught on.
SSD versus HDD
- The model detected the rise of SSDs in the early 2000s.
- By 2019, SSDs accounted for nearly 75% of notebook shipments. The shift was in the patent data long before it became obvious in the market.
