Innovation doesn’t start with a brainstorm; it starts with a problem worth solving. We offer in-depth real-world issue analysis reports in the form of ProbSheets©.
A structured deep-dive into real, unresolved innovation problems; built for leaders who turn insights into action.
Capture the essence of a real-world challenge in a specific industry and sector.
Use it for: Internal briefings and strategic alignment.
A breakdown of why this problem persists. We expose the underlying technical, behavioral, or systemic dynamics at play.
Use it to: Avoid shallow solutions and tackle what truly matters.
A map of the real tension: where market logic, human behavior, or regulation conflict.
Use it to: Build smarter solution strategies.
Estimated cost of inaction — or the value of solving it. Could be in efficiency, spend, or human outcomes.
Use it to: Justify internal resource allocation or team focus.
High-potential innovation zones and “How Might We” prompts. Grounded in real change, not hype.
Use it to: Frame R&D direction or pilot ideas.
When relevant, you’ll get data like market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), competition, trends, and regulatory status.
Use it to: Quickly assess feasibility and timing.
Early suggestions for viable monetization paths and customer dynamics.
Use it to: Imagine traction before prototyping.
Innovation leads, corporate accelerators, product teams, and strategy roles who think in problems first, not just trends.
Every ProbSheet© includes not just a deep dive into the problem — but also a structured exploration of how it might be solved. We unpack each solution angle with clear, actionable depth.
We describe a standout concept that directly addresses the root problem — showing what it does and how it fits the context.
From SaaS to revenue-sharing or partnerships — we map realistic routes to market with business models that make sense.
We highlight what makes the solution possible today, where it needs development, and how scalable it could become.
What gives the idea a durable edge? We examine potential moats, network effects, and first-mover advantages.
Know what it would take: we list the core team skills needed to bring the idea to life — from product to partnerships.
Innovation isn’t about being perfect — it's about asking better questions. Each solution ends with key unknowns to validate.
Solving the right problem has never been easier.

Energy providers and consumers in colder climates face a conundrum: while the demand for reliable battery storage systems is high due to increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, the very technology meant to support energy independence and grid stability falters in cold conditions.
This inconsistency leaves businesses and homeowners vulnerable to energy shortages when the need is critical.
The solution involves developing a new battery chemistry that uses advanced electrolytes with additives to improve ionic conductivity at lower temperatures.
This chemistry modification can be complemented with nano-materials in electrode designs to maintain electrochemical activity and reduce impedance when cold.
The improved chemistry would allow batteries to operate efficiently by lowering the resistance typically caused by cold temperatures, thus maintaining higher capacity and energy transfer rates even under severe weather conditions.
