Methodology · Sources

The evidence behind every verdict.

EntreDash doesn't rate your idea from an AI's memory. It runs your idea through specialist agents and real public records, and every claim in your report links back to a source you can open and check yourself.

Every report records its own audit trail — each query, each source, each result count — so the work is reproducible, not a black box.

Tuned to your field

Every field has its own record.

The backbone above runs for every idea. When the engine recognizes your industry, it also pulls in the sources that field trusts, so a medical verdict rests on medical evidence, not a general web search.

Pick a field to see the sources it adds. All four are live.

Peer-reviewed literature
PubMed and PMC: the clinical studies behind a claim, read and quoted, not just linked.
Practice guidelines
The guidelines a specialty actually follows, like AHA/ACC or APSF.
Consensus standards
ISO and CLSI: the performance standards a device or diagnostic is bench-tested against.
FDA records
510(k) clearances and FDA-recognized standards: the regulatory record for a device.
Epidemiology and registries
SEER, the CDC, and disease registries: real numbers on how common a condition is.
Reimbursement and market data
Coverage and market-growth data behind the TAM, SAM, and revenue model.

Four fields are live: Medtech, Pharma & biotech, Drug compounding, and Software. Fintech, consumer hardware, and more are in progress, each adding the sources its field trusts.

How a verdict is reached

Specialist agents, not one chatbot.

01

Decompose

Your idea is broken into its core claimable elements — the specific things a patent would actually claim.

02

Search the record

The engine queries patent offices, academic databases, and federal market data office by office, expanding citations and deduping as a real searcher would.

03

Score & verify

Every candidate is scored against your claimable elements. Several frontier models each do what they do best, with a verification pass before anything reaches you.

Synthesize a cited verdict

The findings resolve into one plain verdict — and the answer can be no. Every claim carries a citation to a real record, with a full audit trail of the queries behind it.

Every claim is cited. Every citation is checkable.

Not an AI's confident guess — a documented read you, or the attorney you hand it to, can verify line by line.
