THE IRIS WORKFLOW

From weak signal to confident decision.

01

Feed IRIS your context

Start by giving IRIS your strategic documents, your context and your own sources. You decide which sources are scanned, including foreign-language ones, thanks to automatic translation. From day one IRIS works from your organisation's reality, not a generic trend feed.

Sense regularly

IRIS periodically scans your sources for the weak signals reshaping your market and brings them onto one Trend Radar, ordered by what matters to you. Every signal is assigned a domain, an impact and a priority level, so the signals that used to sit scattered across tools, teams and inboxes now live in a single view.
