Value Capture
Upstream Discovery Signals for Industrial R&D
Synthetic PolyMorphs captures value by delivering in-silico discovery artifacts that compress early-stage R&D timelines while preserving full downstream differentiation.
The model monetizes decision acceleration, not experimental outcomes.
Discovery artifacts are designed for industrial R&D teams, technology scouting groups, IP strategy units, and research organizations seeking credible, pre-competitive signals without execution risk or downstream entanglement.

Economic Context
USD Benchmarks
Across chemicals, advanced materials, electronics, energy systems, manufacturing processes, and adjacent industrial domains, early exploratory discovery typically incurs:
- USD 150,000–500,000 in internal exploratory screening and analysis
- 6–12 months of staff time, tooling, and opportunity cost
- Significant risk from false starts, dead ends, and abandoned directions
Synthetic PolyMorphs discovery artifacts are priced to function as low-friction R&D options:
- USD 20 per discovery artifact
- Typically <0.1% of a standard exploratory R&D budget
- Suitable for discretionary departmental spend without procurement escalation
Discovery Model
Pre-Competitive, Pre-Experimental
Each discovery artifact provides structured, domain-relevant upstream signals such as:
- Curated candidate spaces, structures, or configurations
- Mechanistic or structural hypotheses derived from computational heuristics
- Domain-aligned batches mapped to real industrial use cases
All deliverables are pre-experimental, non-validated, and non-predictive, intentionally positioned upstream of testing, prototyping, and deployment.
Their function is to support go/no-go decisions, internal prioritization, hypothesis generation, and search-space narrowing.
Distribution
Non-Exclusive by Design
Discovery artifacts are distributed on a non-exclusive basis, consistent with scientific and industrial norms such as peer-reviewed literature, patent disclosures, and public screening databases.
Competitive advantage emerges only after acquisition through experimental design, implementation strategy, process conditions, application constraints, and IP development. Synthetic PolyMorphs does not compete downstream and does not participate in execution.

Intellectual Property
Clear Ownership Boundaries
- Buyers retain full ownership of all downstream intellectual property
- Synthetic PolyMorphs makes no claim on buyer-generated inventions
- Discovery artifacts may be resold to additional purchasers
This separation enables parallel exploration while avoiding IP entanglement, exclusivity pressure, or hidden encumbrances.
Economics
Batch Reuse and Scaling
Each discovery artifact is created once and reused across multiple buyers.
- Fixed upfront curation cost
- Near-zero marginal delivery cost
- 50–100 buyers per artifact over its lifecycle
Illustrative batch revenue ranges from USD 1,000–2,000 per discovery theme, supporting sustainable scaling without lock-in or downstream liability.
Adoption
Buyer ROI
Discovery artifacts integrate directly into existing workflows using standard formats, internal screening tools, and domain-specific filtering aligned to NACE-classified industrial activity.
For many organizations, a single artifact replaces months of exploratory work. The primary return on investment is time saved, not guaranteed outcomes.

Growth
Repeat Purchase Dynamics
Synthetic PolyMorphs is designed for repeat engagement:
- R&D teams acquire multiple artifacts across domains
- Technology and IP scouting groups source continuous signal streams
- Discovery groups return when opening new search spaces
Typical repeat purchasers acquire 4–12 artifacts per year, creating portfolio-style value capture rather than project dependency.
Frontier Series
Long-Horizon Discovery
A subset of releases explores long-horizon industrial domains such as adaptive systems, programmable matter, reconfigurable structures, and emerging robotic substrates.
These frontier artifacts engage foresight, IP, and advanced R&D groups while preserving near-term industrial relevance.
