STRATENSIGHT ACADEMY
Master the decision frameworks behind Stratensight. From innovation signals to strategic action — Momentum Index™, Openness Score™, Intelligence Grade™, Decision Engine™, and confidence interpretation.
POSITIONING
Training for decisions, not raw patents.
Every module teaches how to interpret innovation signals and turn them into strategic decisions. Not a patent course — a decision interpretation framework.
COMPLETE PROGRAM — 5 MODULES
MODULE 1 — FUNDAMENTALS OF PATENT ANALYSIS
Patent filings provide an early directional signal about R&D investment patterns, often preceding public announcements. Understand why patent data is the primary decision signal in Stratensight.
The Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) organizes 250,000+ technology codes. Learn how to read CPC codes and why they matter more than keywords for accurate technology mapping.
EPO, USPTO, Google Patents, Derwent, PatSnap, Questel — their strengths, limitations, and when to use each. Why open sources provide directional signals while premium sources enable strategic decisions.
Understand the difference between real-time Explorer signals and fixed upload analyses. Why reproducibility matters for strategic decisions and how to archive your analyses.
MODULE 2 — UNDERSTANDING STRATENSIGHT SCORES
Formula, variables (CAGR, S-curve, volume, YoY), and interpretation. Examples: QEC (Momentum 13) vs Quantum Computing (93). Labels: HIGH ≥ 65, MEDIUM 35–64, LOW < 35.
S-curve theory (Foster 1986) applied to patents. Research, Emerging, Acceleration, Growth, Mature — definitions, transition detection, and how to identify your technology's current phase.
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) — used by antitrust regulators worldwide. OPEN ≥ 80, CONTESTED 55–79, CONCENTRATED 30–54, DOMINATED < 30. New entrant rate and concentration ratio.
Why data quality matters. How Intelligence Grade™ is calculated, why it penalizes incomplete data, and how to improve your Grade. HIGH ≥ 70, MEDIUM 45–69, LOW < 45.
Layer A — AND-logic verdict (INVEST: Momentum ≥70 AND Openness ≥40 AND Grade ≥70 · MONITOR: Momentum ≥45 AND Openness ≥25 AND Grade ≥50 · EXPLORE: Momentum ≥25 · AVOID: below all thresholds). Formula: Momentum×0.35 + Lifecycle×0.25 + Grade×0.25 + Openness×0.15. Layer B — 8 canonical blocking guards. Layer C — Tier gate (Phase 5.3): the user-facing verdict is subordinated to evidence_certainty (TIER_HIGH preserves raw, TIER_MODERATE → directional signal, TIER_LOW → INSUFFICIENT_DATA). Why no verdict is ever produced without a confidence score.
9 deterministic rules + 1 LLM audit (Claude Sonnet) = Signal Integrity™. How the Critical Reader™ detects INVEST/verdict inconsistencies, data-quality artifacts, and protects you from silently wrong analyses. Available on every plan — no gating.
MODULE 3 — USING THE EXPLORER
How the system maps your technology topic to CPC codes through 5 fallback levels. How to verify and understand the codes used in your analysis via the Source Coverage card.
EP/US/PCT = comprehensive. CN/JP/KR = international filings only. IN/TR/BR = limited. Domestic CN/IN/TR = not covered. When Explorer is sufficient and when to upload your own data.
Academic source fallback warning, EPO cap warning (2,000 patents), partial coverage warning. What each warning means for your analysis and when to take action.
Real-time signal vs fixed analysis. Why Explorer results may change over time. How to archive a snapshot for comparison. When to switch to upload for fixed, dated analysis.
MODULE 4 — ADVANCED ANALYSIS WITH PREMIUM DATA
Essential columns, 8–12 year time window, search filters, and export format from Tier 1 patent databases. How to maximize Intelligence Grade™ from the start.
Understanding the Upload Advisor, why files are rejected, and how Signal Integrity™ gates protect your analysis. Source auto-detection, column mapping, quality enforcement.
Click any patent owner to reveal their full filing trajectory. Read accelerating vs decelerating cadence, jurisdiction concentration, and CPC focus to interpret competitor strategy.
Upload a client portfolio against a market analysis. Read strong presence, weak presence, and whitespace gaps. Turn the analysis into a client-specific filing recommendation.
