How Wicely Turns Intelligence into Impact
Wicely isn't just research software, it's the complete R&D operating system for manufacturers. From capturing business needs to validating technology signals to executing projects with measured outcomes, our AI-native platform automates the entire R&D lifecycle that traditionally required expensive consultants and months of manual work.
Strategic Opportunity Management
Capture business challenges and connect them to strategic objectives. Our AI-assisted wizard transforms vague problems into comprehensive, actionable opportunities. Link opportunities to your KPIs and ensure R&D efforts align with business strategy.
Always-On Technology Intelligence
Watch Towers monitor your technology landscape 24/7. Our AI agents analyse patents, research papers, and industry news specific to your product lines, generating intelligence reports with relevance scoring, TRL assessment, and executive summaries. Turn passive monitoring into active decision-making through the Signal Pipeline.
Manufacturing Ecosystem Intelligence
Beyond competitor tracking, monitor your entire R&D ecosystem. Watch supplier technologies, university research, regulatory changes, and startup activity relevant to your technology domains. Automatic signal generation ensures you never miss strategic developments in your supply chain or partnership landscape.
AI Orchestration That Learns Your Business
Wicely's orchestration layer coordinates intelligence across Watch Towers, Signals, and Projects, automatically prioritising opportunities based on validated conversion rates and ROI. Our manufacturing knowledge graph captures your supplier relationships, production constraints, and internal capabilities, making every recommendation contextual to your organization.
From Opportunity to Measured Outcome, Not Just Research
What consultants deliver in months, Wicely delivers continuously. Capture opportunities, validate technology signals through structured assessment, execute projects with AI-generated roadmaps and RFPs, and track ROI. Complete R&D lifecycle management designed specifically for manufacturing teams.

R&D execution, not just research. Wicely uses AI orchestration and manufacturing knowledge graphs to deliver the complete R&D consultant workflow, from technology monitoring through project execution to measured outcomes, making world-class R&D capabilities accessible to manufacturing teams of any size.
We don't just deliver intelligence reports, we orchestrate the complete R&D workflow. Watch Towers generate insights, Signal Pipeline structures assessment, Technology Assessment guides decisions, and Projects execute solutions with roadmaps and RFPs. Intelligence platforms tell you what's happening; Wicely tells you what to do about it.
Intelligence reports with TRL and relevance scoring, technology assessment frameworks, AI-powered RFPs, project roadmaps with scenario planning (Open Innovation, Market Solutions, Custom Development), solution scouting with requirement matching, timeline Gantt charts, and portfolio analytics tracking signal conversion to ROI.
Absolutely. Wicely runs exclusively on private EU-hosted Azure infrastructure with strict encryption and GDPR compliance. Your manufacturing knowledge graph: supplier relationships, internal capabilities, past project learnings, stays proprietary to your organisation.
Our orchestration engine coordinates intelligence gathering, signal assessment, and project execution, learning which technology domains convert to valuable outcomes for your organisation. It automatically adjusts Watch Tower monitoring intensity based on validated signal conversion rates and ROI feedback.
Traditional enterprise platforms are built for complexity, requiring extensive configuration, dedicated teams, and significant onboarding. Wicely is AI-native from the ground up: manufacturing-specific workflows activate in days, intelligent automation eliminates manual configuration, and deep domain expertise in supplier ecosystems and production constraints is built into the platform. You get enterprise-grade capabilities without enterprise-grade overhead.
Most teams deploy their first Watch Tower within days and capture initial signals within the first week. Projects created from validated signals typically show 3x faster time-to-RFP versus manual research. Portfolio-level ROI tracking demonstrates R&D impact within the first quarter.
