ArandiThe R&D decision infrastructure

The answer to your R&D problem may already exist in another industry

Make your next R&D call with evidence, not intuition: what other fields already tested, with sources and gaps in plain sight.

Include the target metric, the operating limits and what cannot change.

The problemHard Tech R&D

If you lead R&D, you already know this loop.

01

The answer may live in a field you haven’t looked at.

In R&D, useful evidence can sit in another industry or discipline. Arandi looks for it and connects it back to your problem.

02

The cost of being wrong is asymmetric.

At the earliest stage of a project, decisions lock in much of a product's cost. A wrong route can cost months and budget on a dead end, which is why validating before investing matters.

03

Literature review never ends.

Science and industry publish more articles and patent applications every year than any team can read. Days of reading and still no clarity on which route is viable for your case.

What Arandi is

The decisions that set your project's cost are made before the first experiment.

Arandi is not a search engine and not a chatbot. It is an intelligence platform that decomposes your technical problem to first principles, searches scientific papers and patents, extracts mechanisms document by document, and stays available to query at any time. Cited sources are real records, shown with their DOI or patent number.

Example citationDOI 10.xxxx/… · opens source
How it works4 steps · you approve 2 of them

Four steps. You approve the two that matter.

You confirm

Strategic framing

A guided conversation takes your stated problem to its first-principles formulation. The system does not advance until the problem is correctly scoped and you approve it.

You approve

Reviewable analysis plan

The system proposes which lines to explore. You approve, modify or remove before a single analysis resource is spent.

Automatic

Deep corpus analysis

Search across scientific papers and patents, mechanism-by-mechanism extraction, and classification by role: direct evidence, cross-domain transfer, or context.

cross-domain transfer
Anytime

Persistent Knowledge Chat

You converse with your corpus. Answers cite real papers you can open.

What makes us different

We don’t optimize for speed. We optimize for honesty.

Connections across domains

Arandi flags evidence that comes from another field as cross-domain transfer. The difference between finding more of the same and discovering a productive analogy.

Traceability by design

Citations point to real records: scientific papers and patents, with their DOI or patent number. A citation that matches no retrieved document is marked as not found.

ExampleP142Not found among the retrieved documents

You approve before it runs

The system stops twice and waits for you: once to confirm the problem, once to approve the search plan. Nothing is spent on the wrong question.

Gaps stated up front

If part of the analysis could not be completed, the result says so first. No document looks complete when it isn't.

Customer case

Lowering indoor temperature in bioclimatic housing.

Client

Architecture firm, Bioclima research line

Its Bioclima line works on lowering indoor temperature in homes without active HVAC. Months of work with external research groups had not converged on a solution architecture the technical committee could stand behind.

What happened

Arandi reframed the problem down to first principles, searched scientific papers and patents and proposed the best-evidenced routes. It converged on the same solution the research groups had reached, with each recommendation linked to its cited sources and ready to implement with clients.

Deliverable

A technical dossier with the recommendation, key evidence, risks and declared gaps, ready to take to the firm's clients, with citations linked to their sources.

01Problem

Lower a home's indoor temperature without active HVAC, within realistic materials and construction budget.

02Analysis

Reformulation: passive thermal regulation of the envelope. Three routes: thermal mass · night cross-ventilation · radiant-reflective envelope.

03Finding

The same hybrid envelope the research groups arrived at, with each recommendation linked to its cited sources and ready to implement with clients.

Customer case. Results depend on the problem and on the literature available; not every Deep Dive finds a solution from another field. The technical dossier shown in this case is not currently available as a feature on any Arandi plan.

Who it’s for

Arandi is for Chief Scientists and R&D Directors in Hard and Deep Tech

For you if

You decide technical routes with budget on the line.

  • You defend those decisions before committees or regulatory audits.
  • You lead R&D in an industrial or deep-tech company.
  • Your organization values evidence traceability over output speed.
Not for you if

You need a search engine or a summarizer.

  • You want a quick summary of a specific paper.
  • You expect the system to give you the right answer without your technical input.
  • Your problem has a fast answer and does not require deep investigation.

FAQ

The questions we hear first.

If you don't find your question, write to us. We answer in technical language.

Private, isolated workspace: the database itself keeps each organization's records apart (Row-Level Security). We do not train models on your content. Your workspace data never mixes with another organization's.
