Food product discovery and concept validation for food and beverage innovation teams.

Discovery Studio

SynthesizeCertainty.

We run high-velocity discovery sprints for food teams who need evidence before formulation. We turn category noise into formulation clarity.

The Discovery Canvas

A multidimensional framework to align your team, your brand, and the lab before a single gram is weighed.

The Lab Workflow

A three-part discovery sprint.

01

Signal scan

Category trends, whitespace, and consumption shifts.

Primary Outcomes

Trend mapOpportunity frameKey risks
02

Concept shaping

Positioning, claims, and the sensory promise.

Primary Outcomes

Concept briefsClaim logicSensory cues
03

Feasibility proof

Reality checks on cost, ingredient systems, and scale.

Certainty is
measurable.

We don't leave discovery to "gut feel." Every sprint is measured against five critical signals that define market and technical readiness.

Repeatable sensory target85% Readiness
Regulatory claim alignment92% Readiness
Scalable ingredient system78% Readiness
Manufacturing path defined95% Readiness
Price and margin viability88% Readiness
