Corporate intelligence / AI talent
Who built the expertise?
Who does the business depend on?
Assess the researchers, teams and professional relationships behind an AI business. Understand what a departure, appointment or new venture could mean for your investment, partnership or organisation.
Discuss an assessment →The client decision
A capable company depends on more than a prominent founder.
You may be considering an investment, evaluating a research partner or trying to understand a competitor’s changing team. We examine the people responsible for the work, their documented experience and the changes relevant to your brief.
Before an investment
Which contributions can be attributed to the team? Does a technical claim depend on one person, a small group or capabilities distributed across the business?
Before a partnership or hire
What has the person or team actually worked on? Which relationships, responsibilities and potential conflicts need closer examination?
After a material change
Who has left, who has joined and what were their responsibilities? Distinguish a public announcement from evidence of a change in capability.
Explore a worked example
Eight researchers.
A shared research history.
Attention Is All You Need introduced the Transformer architecture in 2017. Our interactive study connects its eight authors with selected later company-founding records. It shows how one research collaboration sits behind several companies’ histories.
From a paper to three companies.
Explore the named people, the exact relationships and the records supporting each connection.
Open the study →What the graph establishes
Shared authorship and separately documented founding relationships. These provide a starting point for examining a team’s research background.
What needs further investigation
Current responsibilities, individual contribution, retention, technical dependence and whether a reported movement materially affects the business.
The research behind the work
People, movement
and incentives.
Our ATIU research covers the state of the market, talent movement, compensation, emerging researchers, rankings and collaboration networks. The interactive study is a selected example; it does not display the full research corpus.
Read the talent-market analysis →Assessing emerging expertise →What you commission
An assessment around a named company, team or decision, with an agreed research scope and reporting date.
What you receive
Relevant people and relationship profiles, a chronology of material developments, supporting records, unresolved questions and an explanation of their significance to your brief.
How the work develops
Public records establish the starting point. Further enquiries and specialist technical review are scoped where the question requires them. Monitoring can follow agreed organisations and developments.
