The approach

The approach, in depth

Built for the founder who wants to see the mechanism before they trust it.

The same continuous-intelligence model, with more room to show how the analysis and the judgment fit together.

Hourly billing makes deferral the rational choice... until the bill comes due at the raise: a thin portfolio, a weaker round, blocking patents nobody saw.

I raised a Series A myself at the end of a Phase 2, so I know exactly what an investor wants the IP story to look like.

Track record

Will led the first US FDA approval of an AI medical device and has spent 15 years turning IP into leverage: portfolios, licenses, and rounds. The proof here is the mechanism and that track record.

The mechanism

How it works

Episodic consulting creates blind spots, and deferral compounds the risk. A subscription replaces the open-ended meter with continuous coverage.

Automated analysis

Freedom-to-operate, prior art, landscape, and competitor filings, run continuously instead of once a quarter.

A Chief IP Officer's judgment

Analysis becomes strategy: portfolio framing and the investor narrative your round needs.

Continuous monitoring

A monthly cadence catches the landscape shifts and competitor filings episodic consulting misses.

Straight talk

Honest answers

Why not a patent firm?

Patent firms bill $500 to $800 an hour, with no ceiling. This is continuous coverage on a flat subscription: you know the number before the work starts.

What does it cost?

Scout is $2,500/mo, Shield is $5,000/mo, Arsenal is $10,000/mo. Annual prepay takes 10% off. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

Why not wait until we raise?

That is exactly when the bill comes due. The portfolio you wish you had takes months to build.

Is this legal representation?

No. Will is your fractional Chief IP Officer: strategy and judgment, not legal representation.
