Wicely

Technology Watch That Stays Current and Shows Its Work

Describe your product line once. Wicely reads patents, papers and news, including Chinese, Japanese and German sources, and keeps a living report where every finding explains why it matters to you and links to its source.

For teams that already run a technology watch

What Changes When Wicely Runs the Watch

If you already have a tool, an outside report or a named person responsible for technology watch, Wicely gives you two things.

Less noise, everything justified

Replace the Tool Nobody Configures, or the Consultant's Report

Watch tools return hundreds of alerts that someone has to read, and the outside report arrives once a quarter without saying why anything matters. Wicely does the reading and keeps only what is relevant to your product line.

  • From about 40,000 items a week to about 150 findings and four conclusions
  • Every finding with a relevance score, written reasoning and a link to its source
  • Chinese, Japanese and German sources, read in your language
  • No searches or keywords to maintain: you describe the line once
How to switch tools
Evidence, not intuition

Arguments for Your R&D and Investment Committee

When you have to defend an R&D budget or a capex decision, intuition is not enough. Every Wicely conclusion comes with its evidence trail: the patent, paper or news item, and the reasoning that connects it to your product.

  • A baseline report covering the last six months of your line
  • Updated every week, with an email when the new report is ready
  • An in-app report library to return to any finding
  • Unlimited readers: leadership and the committee read the same report
For R&D directors

Conclusions, not data lists

40,000 Items a Week.
Four Conclusions.

That's a real week from one customer's technology areas. Here's the work between the two numbers.

Patents

New filings and grants across your technology map

Scientific papers

New research in your fields, from every major index

Industry news

Trade press, competitor moves, product announcements

What got published
~40,000
items in a typical week

Patents, papers, and news across your technology areas. Facing it by hand means three tools, three search strategies, days of engineering time - every single week.

≈ 36,000 read, scored, and set aside as noise
What was actually relevant
~4,000
mattered to your business lines

Every single item gets read - summaries, abstracts, claims - and scored against your business lines with written reasoning. Not keyword filters: reading, at a scale no team can match.

≈ 3,850 below the relevance threshold, kept out of the report
What an analyst would read
~150
read in full for each business line's report

The relevant ones get the deep pass: full text, who is behind them, which of your products they touch, whether weak signals add up to one strong one.

whatever makes the report always links to its evidence

3-4 conclusions · read in 5 minutes

Between 40,000 and four, there's a week of analyst work. Your engineers never see it - just the five minutes that matter.

Starts with a baseline

Your first report covers the last six months; after that, it is updated every week.

The two-minute summary

Each report opens with the executive summary: the version your boss actually reads.

No watch team to build

The reading, filtering, and synthesis happen before the report reaches you.

Trust

Always Sources, Always Reasoning

Every conclusion in every report is built to be checked. Click through to the original patent, paper, or article, and read the written reasoning that connects it to your product line.

From a weekly report
Conclusion

A tier-1 supplier is patenting around your coating process: review the family before it reaches grant.

Why this matters for your line

Claims 4-7 overlap the low-temperature curing step used in your industrial coatings line; two related filings from the same family suggest a broader program.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT, Copilot and custom GPTs

An answer you have to take on trust

Answers what you think to ask, and never tells you what it missed

Ask twice, get two different answers

Everyone with their own prompts and GPTs, which someone has to maintain

Wicely

Every finding links to the original patent, paper or news item, with written reasoning

Sweeps the same perimeter for your line every week: patents, papers and news, including Chinese, Japanese and German sources

The same criteria every week: each finding scored 0 to 100 for relevance to your product line

One line set up once and shared by the whole team, with unlimited readers

Your data stays yours: each customer runs isolated in its own space, hosted in the EU, and it is never used to train models.

Verify anything in seconds

Every finding links to the original document: no black box between a conclusion and its evidence.

Reasoning written for your line

Each finding carries written relevance reasoning against your exact products and processes, not a keyword score.

Any source language

If the source is in Chinese, Japanese, or German, you still read it in yours.

Runs on auto-pilot

Set it up once and the reports arrive on their own: we email you when a new report lands in your library.
