How it works
01
Data Ingestion

We harvest the research

Every day we ingest new papers, grants, and patents from UCL and Imperial College London — thousands of outputs, automatically collected via OAI-PMH and public APIs.

02
AI Summaries

AI makes it readable

Claude summarises each paper into plain English. No jargon, no dense abstracts — just what was found, why it's interesting, and what it could mean for the world.

03
Scoring Engine

We score everything

Each item gets two scores: a Coolness Score for public interest, and a VC Readiness Score based on patents, funding stage, industry co-investment, and hot-topic alignment.
