CAPABILITIES DECK

aigora

AI for R&D and Consumer Insights.

Predictive research. Knowledge exploration. Training. Built on deep expertise in sensory science.

STRATEGIC PREMISE

AI that strengthens research judgment.

Years of research sitting in PDFs nobody can search. New studies that cost $50K+ and take months. Aigora fixes both. We make historical research queryable and run predictive studies grounded in your own data. Every answer traces back to the source.

Built for insights, sensory, knowledge, R&D, and formulation science leaders who want answers, not another dashboard.

As machines predict, humans must decide.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Three products. One evidence layer.

Knowledge exploration, predictive pre-screening, and AI training for consumer insights teams. You get the answers. We run the engine.

THREE PRODUCTSOne evidence layer. Every product draws from the same governed research base. Applicable across CPG, personal care, health, nutrition, and formulation science.

01LEAD PRODUCT

Concept Explorer

Send us your data via secure upload or API. We build predictive models grounded in your historical data and run a category appraisal, formulation screen, descriptive analysis, or concept test. Report in days.

02KNOWLEDGE PLATFORM

THEUS Knowledge Exploration

We turn your research archive into a governed knowledge base. Extract, synthesize, supplement, and explore decades of institutional knowledge. Literature reviews that took days now take seconds — every finding traceable to the source.

03EDUCATION

AI Training

A 10-week course that teaches consumer insights professionals to work with AI. 50+ alumni from Fortune 500 companies, plus the Aigora AI Toolkit for teams that want practical tools now.

CASE STUDY 01

Decades of research. One searchable source.

From fragmented regional files to a single governed knowledge base.

A global food and beverage manufacturer had decades of sensory and consumer data spread across regions, formats, and file systems. We built a unified schema and automated ingestion pipeline that consolidated everything into one governed knowledge base — searchable in seconds.

SignalMulti-region consolidation
ImpactResearch history searchable in seconds
  • Unified schema linking descriptive, consumer, and instrumental data
  • Automated ingestion pipelines with validation and correction flows
  • Global access to historical studies without duplicated effort

CASE STUDY 02

Ask questions in plain English. Get rigorous answers.

Leadership accesses complex research data without going through analysts.

A global top-5 beverage company needed leadership to access research data without going through analysts. We built a system that translates plain language into precise queries, validates results, and produces executive-ready summaries. Time-to-insight dropped from days to minutes.

SignalDays to minutes
ImpactLeadership self-serve on research data
  • Translates natural-language questions into precise analytical queries
  • Runs multi-step validation before analysis is shown to the user
  • Lets non-technical leaders retrieve evidence without analyst bottlenecks

CASE STUDY 03

Test thousands of formulations before entering the lab.

Filter low-probability prototypes digitally, then validate the winners.

A Fortune 100 personal care company used predictive modeling, grounded in historical sensory panel data, to isolate drivers of liking before physical production. Thousands of digital experiments filtered low-probability prototypes. Now available as Concept Explorer.

SignalThousands of in-silico experiments
ImpactFewer physical runs needed
  • Interactive models explored the sensory sweet spot before physical runs
  • Predictive workflows linked product variables to consumer liking drivers
  • Digital screening reduced the number of physical prototypes worth producing

CASE STUDY 04

Lit reviews that took days now take seconds.

The “why” becomes searchable alongside the “what.”

A global beverage leader used THEUS to connect quantitative outcomes with qualitative context, internal reports, and scientific literature in one workspace. Strict source attribution. Lit reviews went from days to seconds, every finding traceable.

SignalDays to seconds
ImpactEvery finding traceable to the source
  • Hybrid retrieval across structured outcomes, historical reports, and literature
  • Strict source attribution separating internal and external evidence
  • Answers in seconds with every finding traceable to the source document

CASE STUDY 05

Two hours. Hidden insights unearthed.

Cross-functional teams explore their own research with Dr. Sinclair.

Fortune 500 teams provide 15–20 reports on a topic. We parse them through THEUS, supplement with publicly available sources, and Aigora team members lead a two-hour workshop where Consumer Insights, Sensory, and Marketing explore together. Dr. Sinclair answers questions traceably, generates visualizations that bring data to life, and stimulates cross-functional conversation that goes deep into their existing research. Available as part of the Founding Partner program or as standalone projects.

Signal15–20 reports per session
ImpactInsights teams didn't know they had
  • Knowledge base curated from internal reports supplemented with public sources
  • Dr. Sinclair stimulates conversation with traceable, source-cited answers
  • Visualizations make cross-study patterns and hidden insights tangible

KNOWLEDGE PLATFORM

THEUS

Your research, searchable and traceable. THEUS turns your historical studies into atomic facts with page-level citations and full provenance. Extract, synthesize, supplement, and explore what you already know before spending on new fieldwork.

  • Turns historical studies into atomic facts with page-level citations and full provenance
  • Synthesizes findings across studies, categories, and methodologies into coherent insights
  • API access available for integration with internal BI, PLM, and R&D workflows

LEAD PRODUCT

Concept Explorer

Predictive studies grounded in your data.

Send us your historical research. Concept Explorer builds predictive models trained on your historical data, with explicit uncertainty bounds on each output. Every response traces to the source facts. Use it to pre-screen formulations, concepts, or ingredients and prioritize which deserve full study.

  • Pre-screen concepts before committing to full fieldwork.
  • Managed service or API integration. No software to learn.
  • Integrates with THEUS for deeper exploration of results.

ENTERPRISE TRUST

Built for enterprise trust.

Teams can trace each answer to the source page, review the controls, and see how the system handles retention, access, and model boundaries.

Audit-ready by design

Every claim can be audited back to the original document and page number.

Safe model boundary

Proprietary research is never used to train models, and session data auto-deletes after 24 hours.

Governance stays visible

Enterprise SSO, identity-provider MFA, audit logs, data isolation, and configurable data residency stay clear to the teams who need to review them.

RESEARCH BASE STRUCTURE

Four-stage knowledge pipeline

Ingest PDFs and CSVs via secure upload or API. Visual document understanding preserves tables and figures. LLM-powered extraction produces atomic facts with statistical context, stored in a structured knowledge graph. Domain-specific QA validates each fact before it enters the base.

24hsession data auto-delete
Zeropersistence — data in RAM only
OAuthGoogle + Microsoft sign-in

No Training Data

Your proprietary research is never used to train AI models.

OAuth Sign-In

Authentication is OAuth-only through Google and Microsoft with enterprise sign-in controls.
