You're judged on the future.
But your entire day is the present.

GetFocus helps CTOs and R&D portfolio leaders compare competing technology routes, identify which ones are improving fastest, and turn the evidence into fund, watch, partner, or phase-out decisions.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Most organizations are built to solve today's problems.

You're the one expected to see what's coming next.

01

The firefighting trap.

97% of your time goes to today's fires. The 3% left over is supposed to shape the next five years of your technology strategy.

02

The boiling frog.

You can see trends building. The problem is knowing exactly when to act. By the time it feels obvious, the window is already closed.

03

Blind spots you can't see.

The most dangerous disruption rarely comes from direct competitors. It comes from an industry you were never watching in the first place.

WHY NOTHING WORKS TODAY

You're not behind.
The tools are.

The problem is not a lack of effort.
It's that every tool available to you is built for a world that moves slower than technology does.

Your organization

Built to execute in the present. Structurally challenged at sensing what wins next.

Consultants and advisors

Useful snapshots. But the landscape shifts faster than any static report can keep up with.

Trend tools and reports

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.

HOW IT WORKS

From strategic intent to decision-grade technology intelligence.

We take care of everything: from platform setup to continuous monitoring.
You define the challenge. We turn it into a board-ready decision and keep watching what changes next.

01

Define the challenge

Strategic intent

You bring the technology question(s) that matter most. In plain language. No assumptions required. In plain language. No assumptions required.

Your technology domain, plotted and ready to act on.

01 Domain setup
Strategic questions monitored
What battery chemistries will dominate in EVs in the next 5-10 years?
What's the trajectory of perovskite solar cells?
Where is hydrogen production cost headed in industrial applications?
Which solid-state architectures are emerging as viable?

Ask another strategic question… What battery chemistries will dominate in EVs in the next 5-10 years?
02

Surface the landscape

AI Scouting

Our AI-agents scan and filter global patents to landscape the technologies relevant to your challenge, including the ones not yet on your radar.

Cut through the noise and focus time, budget, and attention on the few technologies most likely to shape your market.

outcome 02

Know exactly when to act

Use defined signals and thresholds to move from watching to investing at the right moment.

outcome 03

Never be blindsided

Surface emerging threats and opportunities across industries before they hit your market.

THE INSIGHT THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Sounds too good to be true?

We've been proving it for years.

GetFocus predicted disruption in Automotive

  • The signs of EV disruption were detectable already in the early 2000’s.
  • ️With this visibility, an automotive OEM could've been ahead of current market leaders like Tesla and BYD.

Online payments vs. 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.

GetFocus predicted disruption in Automotive

  • 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.
