icp

• text: Pharmaceutical and biotech R&D organizations with literature-intensive discovery teams; the company cites GSK usage.
• text: Universities and national laboratories with scientists conducting complex literature searches, from individual labs to large institutions.

message pillars

• text: Position the product as purpose-built for research literature.
• text: Differentiate on breadth of discovery, using the company's own benchmark claim.
• text: Reduce citation trust concerns with verifiable references.
• text: Support analysis beyond abstracts with full texts.

objections

• objection: Can it find papers a generic AI search misses?
  response: Run the published benchmark methodology alongside a pilot on the team's own known literature set.
• objection: Can we trust generated research summaries?
  response: Inspect the cited papers and figures directly; the product claims citation verification and full-text reading.
• objection: Will this fit an institutional deployment?
  response: Discuss organization-specific access, security and terms with the enterprise team.
