BUSINESS PROBLEM

Challenges We Solve

Manual route scouting is time-intensive and often disconnected from inventory, cost, and historical reaction knowledge. Four challenges compound the problem.

Manual Route Scouting
Manual route scouting for a complex molecule takes 2–5 days per chemist, creating bottlenecks across programs.
Speed & Time-to-Market Pressure
Average time to identify viable routes runs 3–8 weeks, a gap that translates into weeks of competitive disadvantage per program.
Inventory-Blind Tools
Existing retro synthesis tools do not natively query internal inventory, missing chances to favor in-stock reagents.
Literature-Dependent Judgment
Route novelty and yield predictions depend on individual chemist recall - not a scalable or reproducible model at organizational scale.
KEY CAPABILITIES

How the Platform Works

The platform generates, scores, and ranks synthesis routes end to end, from molecule input to chemist decision.

Flexible Target Input

Chemists enter a molecule via SMILES, InChI, IUPAC name, CAS number, or a structural drawing.

Route Engine & Parser

A retro synthesis engine generates multi-step routes while pre-fetching yield data and literature precedent in parallel.

Multi-Objective Scoring

Routes are ranked by yield probability, material cost, step count, cycle time, and inventory utilization.

AI-Assisted Chemist Decision Interface

The top-ranked routes are shown in an interactive synthesis tree with comparison charts, AI-generated rationale, an done-click export for further work.

BUSINESS IMPACT

Measurable Outcomes

Route Identification in Minutes
Accelerates route identification from weeks to minutes, enabling faster and more informed chemist decisions.
Inventory-Aware Recommendations
Favors in-stock reagents where viable, reducing procurement time and cost.
Reproducible at Scale
Standardizes route evaluation across large chemistry organizations instead of relying on individual recall.

FAQs

Who is this solution designed for?

Process chemists and R&D teams who need to evaluate synthesis routes for new or existing molecules quickly and consistently.

Does it replace the chemist's judgment?

No. The platform generates and ranks candidate routes with supporting rationale; chemists review the options and make the final route decision.

What does it generate?

A ranked shortlist of synthesis routes, each scored on yield probability, cost, step count, and inventory availability, with an AI-generated rationale for each.

How does it use inventory data?

The platform queries internal inventory alongside external reaction and vendor data, so recommended routes can favor reagents already on hand.

Faster Route Decisions

Chemists inherit ranked, inventory-aware synthesis routes instead of manual scouting - cutting route identification from weeks to minutes.
