Scoped pilot

Start with your problem, not our pricing.

A short, time-boxed engagement on one brief of yours — a reformulation, an off-note to mask, a new SKU to ideate. We agree on the success criteria up front, run the engine on your ingredients with you, and you see an inspectable result before committing to anything bigger.

Mutual NDA first · forward-deployed · you see the result before any bigger commitment

How a pilot works

Four steps, scoped to one brief. No long integration, no committee.

1

Mutual NDA

Signed first — your formulations are protected as much as our method.

2

30-min scoping call

We agree the brief and 1–2 quantified success criteria, in writing.

3

Forward-deployed run

We run the engine on your ingredients with you in the room — not over the wall.

4

Inspectable readout

A short result you can interrogate input by input, with compound-level rationale.

Not a black box

The reason a pilot here is worth your time: you can audit every number it produces.

Glass-box scoring

Every per-pair score decomposes into its inputs — compound overlap (IDF-weighted), recipe co-occurrence (NPMI), perceptual/threshold weighting. Inspect it, don't take it on faith.

Paper-grounded

Built on 40,000+ peer-reviewed papers and a published methodology — not an opaque consumer-prediction model you have to trust.

Your data, your brief

Run on your ingredient list and your actual problem across 857 ingredients and 5,240 aroma compounds — not a generic catalog demo.

What a pilot can answer

Pick one brief. We agree the success criteria before we start.

Off-note masking

A compound-level read on what's driving an off-note, and directions to counter or cover it.

Criterion: 2–3 masking directions, with the molecules behind each.

Reformulation

Swap an ingredient (cost, supply, label) while holding the aroma profile, ranked by compound-set similarity.

Criterion: substitutes that hold the profile above an agreed similarity threshold.

New-SKU ideation

Novel, on-thesis pairings where the molecular and culinary signals agree — or productively disagree.

Criterion: N novel pairings your team hadn't considered for the brief.

Bring us a brief.

Tell us the problem and what a good result looks like. We'll send a one-page scope and a mutual NDA, and book the call.
