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.

Imagine the seamless operation of energy grids, heavily dependent on a myriad of interconnected hardware components.
Yet, without real-time diagnostic tools, providers are flying blind, unable to anticipate device failures that can halt energy distribution.
This gap not only risks reliability but also threatens the stability of power supply, affecting both energy providers and end-users who demand uninterrupted power.
Grid-Sentinel employs smart IoT sensors that are attached to various grid-connected devices.
These sensors collect real-time data on device performance metrics such as temperature, vibration, and power load.
The data is transmitted to a central cloud-based analytics platform equipped with machine learning algorithms that detect anomalies and predict potential failures before they occur.
The platform pushes insights and alerts to operation managers through a user-friendly dashboard, prompting timely maintenance activities.
