Visibility

We find the competitors you didn’t know to look for.

Lapis Lumen is continuous competitive intelligence for biotech and deep-tech R&D. Our autonomous research agents watch external developments (patents, scientific publications, clinical trials, grants, competitor activity) and surface what could affect your program before it becomes obvious.

2 million new records a week. We track every one for you.

We give you 14 months of warning, from the public record.

02 / The gap

Make multi-million dollar decisions on all of the available science.

Most teams find out about a development months after it’s public. Two million new records appear every week.

No team can read that. Lapis Lumen reads all of it for you.

Volume vs. attention
Scientific publications alone, against what a small team can read.

03 / How Lapis Lumen works

From your technology to ongoing intelligence.

Tell Lapis Lumen what you are building, brief its research agents, and review what they bring back.

Explore the product
Build your project1 / 3

Add your project context.

Your documents, research and priorities. That context tells the research agents what matters to you.

04 / Research agents

Autonomous research agents.We built them to do the reading.

Each agent works on a mission of its own: patents, papers and preprints, trials and regulatory filings, grants and funding, companies and news, or the organizations you name.

Atlas, Reads patents

07 / The advantage

Intelligence no one else has: deeper coverage, connected evidence, judged against your technology.

  1. 01

    See what everyone else misses.

    We have the deepest supply of research intelligence, thousands of signals across messy sources. We find important technologies, competitors and threats that you would never search for.

    Depth of coverage
  2. 02

    We connect the dots for you.

    Our analysis engine connects companies, subsidiaries, researchers and patents to reveal who is behind a development and what it means for your technology.

    Filed elsewhere, resolved to the parent
  3. 03

    Get started in six minutes.

    Onboarding takes six minutes, not six months. Brief your first research agent and intelligence starts arriving in the same session, with no procurement cycle and no implementation quarter.

    Measured across three onboardings
  4. 04

    A digital twin of your technology.

    We model a digital twin of your technology, including current and planned claims, research areas and capabilities. The model finds relevant developments even when terminology differs and filters out irrelevant keyword matches.

    Relevance judged against your program
