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. Helping CTOs, and R&D portfolio leaders decide which competing technical routes to fund, monitor, partner around, acquire, defend against, or kill
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Measure what's actually improving
MIT forecasting
For each technology, we measure the Technology Improvement Rate and Technology Readiness Level so you can separate momentum from noise.
Turn it into a decision
Decision Making Matrix
Every technology is plotted on a single board-ready view: where to act now, where to watch, where to phase out, and what to ignore
Your technology domain, plotted and ready to act on.
Mature and improving fast. This is where next-wave investment belongs.
Improving fast but not ready yet. Set the trigger and monitor closely.
Mature but slowing. These are candidates for de-investment.
Low maturity, weak improvement. Don't waste time or budget here.
Monitor continuously
Continuous Monitoring & Strategy
Your team gets ongoing visibility through our platform Odin, plus alerts when something crosses your thresholds, monthly reports keeping you informed about landscape movements and quarterly reviews with GetFocus experts on what changed and what to do next.
From gut feel to
evidence-based technology bets.
Know which technologies matter
Cut through the noise and focus time, budget, and attention on the few technologies most likely to shape your market.
Know exactly when to act
Use defined signals and thresholds to move from watching to investing at the right moment.
Never be blindsided
Surface emerging threats and opportunities across industries before they hit your market.
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.
