Three ways to work with the measurement.

License the software and keep the analysis in your own hands, read analysis we have already run, or commission it on your own question.

Workflow one · software

Tools your team holds.

The difference from a commissioned analysis is who holds the work. Your team builds the comparison and re-runs it whenever the question comes back. Three tools, each built around one recurring decision. Each rests on the same measurement: how fast a technology is improving, estimated for 150,000+ technologies before commercial numbers exist.

TechNext Spot
Startup and research discovery
YOU BRING
A requirement, in your own numbers.
YOU GET
Companies, research labs and patents that can meet it, and roughly when, organised by technical approach rather than by press attention.
TechNext Amplify
Application discovery
YOU BRING
A capability you already own and the performance it delivers.
YOU GET
The uses that need what you have, each compared against its incumbent for whether and when you overtake it, with the rejections and their reasons kept on file.
TechNext Advance
Roadmap and system analysis
YOU BRING
The system you are trying to improve and the requirement it has to meet.
YOU GET
The credible routes, ranked by how fast each is closing on that requirement, and the constraint that takes over next.

Workflow two · technology reports

Read analysis we have already run.

Where a comparison is useful to more than one team, we write it up. Three are in preparation now, listed below. The method applies to any technology sector, and we write to commission in any of them.

UPCOMING · PREORDER
Quantum computing

Competing qubit architectures compared against each other, with the error-correction results that changed the picture.

Superconducting, trapped-ion, photonic and spin qubits; the error-correction overhead; what has stayed stubborn for two decades.
Register interest
UPCOMING · PREORDER
Energy storage

Cell chemistries and formats on their own curves, rather than one blended figure for “batteries.”

Lithium-ion variants, solid-state, sodium-ion; energy density against cost per kWh; where the pace is set.
Register interest
UPCOMING · PREORDER
Microelectronics

Advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration and the domains under them, built alongside our coalition work.

Packaging and interconnect, photonics, power electronics; the domains a regional supply chain actually depends on.
Our Northeast Microelectronics Coalition partnership → Register interest
Tell me when these are released

One note when each is finished, with one finding from it. No sequence.

Workflow three · commissioned analysis

Tell us what you need analysed.

These are the four questions we take on most often. Each is scoped the same way: you bring the question and the inputs, we agree the scope and the fee before work begins.

Which change could get your system to the performance it needs? DETAILS
Where could your technology create an advantage worth developing? DETAILS
What does a startup’s technical evidence support, and what still needs to be shown? DETAILS
What has changed enough to revisit your view? DETAILS
Not sure yet? Starting with a broad technology area?

Tell us what you want analysed. We map the related domains first, then decide together what deserves a closer look. Sometimes that ends with a shorter list and no further work, which is a fine result.

Bring the area, we'll help you narrow it →
Built for a decision. Every output says what you could do differently because of it, with the evidence, the assumptions and the limits attached.
Scope agreed first. Once the question and usable inputs are clear, we agree the paid scope and fee before custom work begins.
No-fit is a valid outcome. A good first conversation sometimes ends with us telling you that you don't need us.

We measure how fast technologies improve and forecast when a challenger crosses the threshold that changes your decision.
