How the radar works
Blue Ocean Explorer is an AI-powered pipeline that collects real market data from 11+ sources and applies Blue Ocean Strategy frameworks to surface non-obvious opportunities. Here is exactly how it works — no black boxes.
The pipeline
Fan-out collection
Your query hits 11 data source connectors in parallel. Each returns structured signals: trends, patent filings, macro indicators, academic citations, startup launches, and more.
Source-level summarization
Claude reads each raw payload and produces a focused 800-token summary per source — extracting what matters for competitive strategy, not general knowledge.
Blue Ocean synthesis
A single 8,000-token pass applies four proven frameworks: Strategy Canvas, ERRC Grid, Three Tiers of Non-Customers, and Six Paths. Every claim is grounded in the collected data.
Opportunity ranking
Opportunities are scored 0–100 based on evidence density, market size signals, and competitive whitespace. Results include citations so you can verify every data point.
Design principles
The methodology
Blue Ocean Strategy was introduced in 2005 and has since been adopted by governments and enterprises in 190+ countries. The core idea: instead of competing in crowded “red oceans,” find or create uncontested “blue oceans” of market space.
The four frameworks we apply — Strategy Canvas, ERRC Grid, Three Tiers of Non-Customers, and Six Paths — are proven tools for systematically identifying those opportunities. We automate the data collection and apply these frameworks to real market signals, so strategists can focus on judgement rather than data gathering.
