Vera · IP valuation, coming soon

AI drafts. The evaluator decides. Everything traces back to the evidence.

A platform for valuing patents, brands, software and know-how — where the client is led through intake by an assistant, the case assembles itself as they talk, and a human evaluator keeps every decision. The report at the end is one that survives an audit.

One email when we open. Nothing else.

The client workspace: on the left, the assistant asking which of two deeds governs ownership and the client attaching the annex; on the right, the indicative pre-report for the same case.

What it is

Not a form. Not a chatbot. A workspace where the case builds itself.

Valuing an IP asset today runs on video calls, hand-prepared reports and email. Vera keeps what makes that work trustworthy — an expert asking the right questions, a human making the call — and gives it a structure.

  • You talk
    The only place the client has to think.

    Plain language, document uploads, corrections in a sentence. The assistant asks for what is missing, explains why it needs a royalty benchmark, and rephrases when you don't follow. It knows which valuation methods your answers have unlocked, and which they haven't yet.

  • The case assembles
    A structured dossier, building live beside the conversation.

    Not a table of contents — the actual case: identity and type, chain of title, jurisdictions, purpose, revenue and cost inputs, evidence per branch. Every node is marked covered, thin or missing, so the job is never "answer sixty questions" but "close the open ones".

  • The report forms
    The same dossier, as the document a person reads.

    What you watch take shape is close to the pre-report the evaluator inherits. Every figure in it points back to the message or file it came from, so when someone later asks where a number originated, the path is already recorded rather than reconstructed.

How it works

Four stages. Four letters.

A case moves through valuation, evidence, review and attestation — and at no point does the AI decide anything. It drafts, it flags, it suggests. The evaluator accepts, changes or rejects, and the record shows which was which.

  1. Valuation

    The client builds the dossier with the assistant: what the asset is, who owns it, why it is being valued and for which date. Releasing a version is the moment it becomes the evaluator's.

  2. Evidence

    Documents, contracts, revenue history and benchmarks attach to the branch they support. Nothing enters a calculation without a source, and the evaluator's clarification requests appear as open nodes in the same workspace.

  3. Review

    The evaluator reads the AI's pre-report and method suggestions, chooses and weights the methods, writes the rationale, and validates. Their decisions are visibly distinct from the suggestions they were made against.

  4. Attestation

    A revocable link takes the finished report to the certifying body, which questions the evaluator and uploads its certification. The client sees the report only once both the evaluator and the administrator have released it.

In the product

Two of those stages, on screen.

Prototype screens, from the case the demo runs on. What they show is the part that is hardest to say in words.

The evaluator decides, and the record shows it.

Every method carries two figures: what the AI suggested, and what the evaluator set.

An override needs a rationale before it stands — "weighted up per IVS 210 §60" — and a method the evaluator removes keeps the reason it was removed. Every input below the weights says where it came from: evidence-derived with the page, evaluator-asserted with the date, or a jurisdiction default. Nothing in the valuation is a number without a source.

The evaluator's weights panel: seven methods, each with the AI's suggested weight and the evaluator's, M3 relief-from-royalty raised from 25% to 30% with a rationale, and an inputs table naming the source of every figure.

The report is generated from the case file.

Not transcribed from it. The same figures the evaluator validated, laid out for a reader.

Market size and growth, comparable transactions feeding the market multiple, the royalty band and the adopted rate, the patent-analytics scores behind the technology factor — each table footed with the annex it came from. A change in the case is a change in the report, and a reviewer can walk any number back to the page it was taken from.

A page of the generated valuation report: market analysis and benchmarking, with a size-and-growth chart, a comparable-transactions table, a royalty benchmark and patent-analytics bars, footed with the sources in the annex.

Who it's for

The people a valuation has.

Built with an IP valuation expert as its first customer, for the three sides of every case.

  • Technology transfer offices and IP owners
    Universities, TTOs, research institutions, companies with a portfolio.

    You are asked for a valuation a few times a year and each one starts from zero. Here you are led through what is expected, you can see what is still missing, and the second case remembers what the first one learned about your organisation.

  • Evaluators
    The people whose name goes on the report.

    Intake arrives structured instead of as an inbox. The first draft, the method recommendations and the insufficiency flags are on the table before you start — and every one of them is yours to overrule, with the overruling on the record.

  • Valuation firms
    Practices that run many cases and answer for all of them.

    Multi-method analysis against recognised standards, an audit trail from evidence to conclusion, a controlled release gate, and a certification loop with the ROC that does not live in someone's email.
