How it works
One workflow, three stages.
A private intelligence system for evaluating ventures, technologies, portfolios, and AI opportunities with evidence and human judgment. Each stage produces a named work product and hands validated context to the next.
- 01
Cipher
AssessDecide what deserves attention.
Structured venture and readiness scoring across five weighted dimensions, with a clear gate decision and the evidence behind it.
When to use it: When you need a disciplined, repeatable read on whether a venture, product, or opportunity warrants deeper diligence.
Output: Assessment briefExplore Cipher - 02
Index
EvidenceProve what the evidence supports.
Source-level diligence on technology, IP, market, and regulatory posture — the Innovation Compass report — with every score traceable to its evidence.
When to use it: When a decision is consequential enough that conclusions need to be defensible, sourced, and quality-checked.

Arkus AI
StrategyTurn validated context into strategy.
Guided strategy sessions grounded in your approved Cipher and Index work, with source facts kept visible and human-review boundaries built in.
When to use it: When you have validated context and need to pressure-test direction, surface risk-bearing assumptions, and shape a board-ready next move.

What holds it together
Evidence and judgment at every step.
Evidence over opinion
Every score traces to its source. Index publishes a provenance table showing what was adjusted, by how much, and why.
Human judgment, on the record
Applied AI does the structured work; people own the consequential calls. Confidence is stated where evidence is incomplete.
Confidential by design
Client materials are reviewed inside the Arkus Suite for your engagement. Sensitive source material is never used for public model training.
One credential, full suite
