Figure out where AI actually belongs in your R&D workflows.

We map your workflows, test the tools on the market against your quality bar and data rules, make the build-or-buy call with you, and stay through pilot, rollout, and training.
Fixed effort. NDA backed.

Six things we hear from R&D and innovation leaders in almost every first call:

“Every vendor claims proprietary AI. We can't tell who has a real model and who's a wrapper around open source.”

“They keep pitching us their most powerful engine. Half of our problems don't need it.”

“We're not handing proprietary formulations to a platform we can't unplug from later.”

“Competitors are announcing AI partnerships. We can't tell the real size of the effort, or whether we need to match it.”

“There are too many tools to demo ourselves. And it's not our job.”

“There are too many tools to demo ourselves. And it's not our job.”

If any of these are on your desk, the next section is the path we run to clear them.

From “where do we even start” to a working system teams use

The path we run with clients, from mapping the decisions that matter to rolling AI out across the organization.

Step 01

Pinpoint workflows

Map the decisions that matter and the workflows behind them.

Step 02

Set the bar

Define decision-grade output, the ROI math, and whether your data can support it.

Step 03

Test the market

Commercial platforms, open source, and build options – we run the trials.

Step 04

Make the call

Build, buy, or co-develop, with the scoring behind the call on the table.

Step 05

Pilot with checkpoints

A narrow pilot with honest 30/60/90-day scale, redesign, or stop gates.

Step 06

Roll out and train

Governance, phased rollout, and training tracks for every team.

The confidence of working with GreyB

NDA before anything

Leap of faith with a parachute. We work with the most sensitive R&D projects of 100s of clients, powered by NDAs and strict policies.

Your IT and legal reviews are part of the plan

Security questionnaires, procurement, data policies, certifications, and MSAs. We build the review time into the schedule instead of discovering it later.

research icon

Uncertainty validated using primary research

Our reports separate what's verified, what vendors claim, and what's still open, with sources throughout. Where the evidence is thin, we can get our hands dirty and really step in the streets to validate things.

We understand AI lifecycle for R&D inside out

GreyB’s has performed detailed scan of each industry to evaluate solutions for R&D teams. Example below is from AI landscape of Cosmetic R&D. In case if you’re in the middle of evaluating solution, a good practice is to get them validated from external sources

Already evaluating platforms? We can help accelerate your decision.

If you have a shortlist, or one vendor deep in conversation, we can pressure-test it. Tell us the tools and the workflow they’re meant for. We’ll come back with what we already know about them, what we’d test, and the questions we’d put to the vendor.

We spent 20+ years doing the work these tools claim to automate

Literature reviews, patent landscapes, freedom-to-operate searches, technology evaluations, competitive monitoring: GreyB has produced this intelligence for enterprise R&D and IP teams since 2008. That’s the vantage point for this service. We know what a decision-grade output looks like in your workflows because we’ve delivered thousands of them, and when an AI platform’s output falls short of that bar, we can tell you exactly where and why.

As a Group Manager, I drive sales excellence, cultivate strategic relationships, and empower teams to deliver results that align with company goals

Yes. It’s the standard start. Most clients share their real priorities only after execution.
Yes, and it’s a common entry point. We test the claims hands-on, benchmark against alternatives including open source, and give you the questions to take back into the room.
Data provenance, model behavior on edge tasks, documentation, and trial runs. The report says which layer of the product is theirs and which is rented, in plain terms.
Sometimes, yes. We benchmark commercial tools against open alternatives and tell you when the license isn’t worth it.
That’s one of the first things we check in any tool we evaluate: data exposure, output ownership, training clauses. In our own work, nothing you share is reused or used for training.
Exit is an evaluation criterion: export formats, proprietary data structures, switching costs. Recommendations favor setups you can unplug.
A scoped preliminary study on one workflow or question, fixed effort, so you can judge the method before committing to anything larger.
You don’t wait for a final report. Interim updates run on a weekly rhythm so you can course-correct while the work is live.
The method is industry-agnostic. Recent work spans pharma, food and beverage, packaging, chemicals, electronics, and cosmetics.

Reports are written for decision-makers: use cases and examples over jargon, plus a separate executive synthesis that states what’s known, what’s open, and what to do next.

Then that’s the finding. Stop is a designed outcome with a reallocation recommendation, and it costs a lot less than scaling something that shouldn’t scale.
Time from your people for a handful of interviews. Data readiness is assessed as part of the work; gaps there are a finding, not a prerequisite.
Depends on the tool’s terms and your jurisdiction, which is exactly why vendor contract terms, inventorship rules, and documentation requirements are part of the legal and IP training track.
Yes. GreyB also builds research software. Advisory evaluations run against your criteria with the scoring documented, so the recommendation is auditable rather than taken on trust.
