Scouting Results

Trend agents can be deployed flexibly — depending on the topic and use case — and deliver relevant results that serve as a well-founded basis for decision-making:

• Rating & relevance: Summary, rating, and visualization of key findings on a topic or technology
• Trend scouting: Identification of industry, topic and technology-related trends.
• Signal scouting: Identify existing solutions, companies, research, or news about a topic or technology.
• Monitoring: Continuous updates and notification of new, relevant signals via email.

Evaluation & relevance of a topic

The importance, progress, and growth of a topic can be quickly and easily identified using three options in AnyIdea:

Summary

The most important findings on a topic in just a few sentences: The AI assistant automatically summarizes identified results and key findings on your topic for you.

Rating of maturity & urgency

Would you like to know how mature and advanced a topic or a specific technology is in your industry?

The AI assistant calculates a “maturity level” and an “urgency” based on the underlying data. Specific or technology-related scouting topics such as “AI in agriculture” or “Power-to-X” are ideal for this.

Urgency: The urgency of a technology or an issue with regard to an industry is determined by the increasing number of current signals in specific signal categories and their composition. These provide information about increasing market pressure, regulatory requirements or increasing competition. (1 - not urgent, 10 - very urgent)

Maturity: The level of maturity determines the extent to which a technology or topic is already being used and established in practice in an industry. (1 - low level of maturity, 10 - high level of maturity)

Trend Scouting

Trend Agents detect key signals and reveal the underlying patterns that form trends. The Trends tab presents these as powerful visual clusters, allowing you to instantly assess a topic's growth and its strategic significance.

Click on a trend in bubble or grid view to get to the details. Here you can also view the data underlying the trend in a comprehensible and transparent way. Trends can then be saved evaluated and managed in the Trendradar.

Development of trends:

Trends are dynamic: they expand as new signals are added or evolve into entirely new clusters as the data situation changes.
