From granted patent to first revenue.

Before there is a go-to-market, there is a patent and a question.

Built for security, identity, and trust technology: hardware security, cryptography, identity and access, payments and fraud, and regulated markets.

Fixed fee. No equity, no success fee, no patent assertion. Your patent stays yours.

The wedge

Claim to Market Read

Two to three weeks, fixed fee

You will find out which of your use cases your patent actually covers, and which of them anyone will pay for, before you spend another dollar on either.

Who it is for

A founder-inventor or CEO with a granted patent, often a pending continuation, and no commercial answer yet; the investors behind them; and the counsel who wants the commercial questions asked before the continuation is drafted.

What you receive

A plain-language claim explainer, a use-case inventory scored on a fixed rubric and tiered with the bottom tier killed in writing, a one-page honest moat read, order-of-magnitude bottom-up sizing, the questions your patent counsel should answer, and a table of what the Read did not settle with the cheapest action that closes each item.

What follows

The Read stands on its own. Where it finds a use case worth pursuing, the Commercial Viability Assessment picks up its open items.

The core

Commercial Viability Assessment

Ninety days, fixed fee

A board-grade answer to whether, where, and how your technology becomes a product someone pays for, with the pitch materials to act on it.

Who it is for

A company that has settled which use cases its claims reach and now needs the buyer, the price, the partner ladder, and the board case, validated with the people who would buy it.

What you receive

Six workstreams run in concert: claim to capability, use-case inventory and scoring, market gap and bottom-up sizing, competitive landscape and honest moat, regulatory and legal gating, and business model with pricing and a partner ladder. It ends in a recommendation document and deck, investor and partner briefings, and an objection sheet written for the questions a buyer's architects will ask.

What follows

The recommendation is a plan a company can run itself. Companies that want the operator who wrote it to run it move to the Commercialization Lead.

The continuation

Commercialization Lead

Monthly, quoted per engagement

The plan the Assessment produced, run by the operator who wrote it, with a stop date and a defined handoff.

Who it is for

A company with a recommendation in hand and no commercial leader yet in the seat, whose board wants the first licensors, design partners, and pricing tests run by someone who has done it before.

What you receive

Partner outreach against the ranked ladder, design-partner and pilot acquisition, pricing tested in market, a monthly operating review, and a board update each period. Never a finder's fee on a capital raise.

What follows

The engagement ends at a defined handoff: a first commercial leader hired, or a partner and pricing path the company can run on its own.

Start with the Read.

Every engagement begins with the Claim to Market Read. It is quoted after a short conversation, and its open-items table is a work plan you can run without us.
