Competitive · Technology · IP Intelligence
Intelligence that holds up in a world drowning in information.
I help R&D leaders, strategy teams and institutions turn scattered signals from patents, competitors and open sources into decisions they can defend. Academic rigour, commercial speed.
Why Cerny.AI
Good intelligence rests on two things: an accountable decision and a method that holds up. I work with both.
Pure practitioners can't prove their methods hold up. Pure academics can't ship a decision under a deadline. I sit in the rare overlap (a working consultant whose methods are peer-reviewed), so the answers you get are fast, and they survive scrutiny when the stakes are real.
