How to read this report
Novelty Score (0–100)
Measures how differentiated this product's technical approach is. Combines three signals: Uniqueness (40%) — fewer products on the same papers means a more unique approach. Research Recency (30%) — building on recent papers (2020+) suggests cutting-edge work; older papers (pre-2015) are more commoditized. Founder Authorship (30%) — if the founder authored the underlying papers, they have deep domain expertise and a technical moat.
Research Lineage
The academic papers this product builds on. Each link has a source type (who declared it: the maintainer, automated extraction from READMEs, community contribution, or AI detection) and a confidence score (0–100%). Higher confidence = stronger evidence.
Competitive Map
Other products that build on the same research papers. The overlap % shows what fraction of this product's papers are shared. 100% overlap = building on identical research. 10% = mostly different foundations.
Domain Trends
Are the domains this product operates in accelerating (more products being built recently), steady, or slowing? Based on the rate of new paper-to-product links over the last 30 and 90 days.
Paper Adoption Timeline
Shows when each product adopted each paper. If many products adopted the same paper recently, it's a trending technique. If only this product uses it, it's a differentiated bet.
Research Lineage (2 papers)
The academic papers this product builds on, with provenance
Competitive Map (13 products on same research)
Other products building on the same papers — higher overlap = more similar technical approach

About this report
Research lineage is based on builder-declared paper links with provenance tracking. Novelty scores are computed from paper uniqueness (fewer products = more novel), research recency, and founder authorship. Competitive maps show other products building on the same research papers. This is not investment advice.
