Expert intelligence for the decisions that matter.
Questions answered by the people who know the field best, with every answer traceable to a named source.
Research grounded in evidence and expert judgement
Martlet brings structured interviews, licensed work and considered expert views together. Every claim is traceable to a named source and reviewed by a research analyst. You can test the assumptions, examine competing views and ask what would change the conclusion.
Clients get answers. Experts earn with every use.
People making serious decisions need somewhere to ask. The experts whose knowledge underwrites the answers need to be paid when their work is used.
Understand the technology. Know what’s at stake.
Bring us a question about an emerging technology. We bring together evidence and expert judgement to help you understand how it works, where its limits lie and what it could mean for you.
What clients get →Knowledge that earns more than once.
Choose how much you share, from a single interview or paper to a broader collection of your work. You agree what Martlet can use and keep your name attached. Sharing more creates more opportunities for your work to be used and for you to earn from it.
The deal for experts →How Martlet works
The public record supplies the evidence, the experts supply the judgement, and an analyst checks everything before it reaches you. Four steps, each run by people, each leaving a trace you can follow back.
Source
Experts contribute work under licence. Papers, reports, interviews, judgement. Captured with consent.
Structure
The contributions are indexed and made retrievable. Every claim stays traceable to its source.
Engage
Clients ask questions. They get answers they can push on, with the evidence shown.
Verify
Our analysts review and verify every output. Experts see how their work is used, and can correct it. When the knowledge creates value, they share in it.
The full pipeline, and the analyst gate at every step, is written up in the methodology.
How we check the work
Three rules behind every answer, and a model that pays the experts behind it.
Rights cleared
Contributions sit under a licence, with the expert's consent. The work is legally distinct, and the experts know what is in it.
Expert verified
Our analysts review every output. You can trace any claim back to the named work it draws on, and experts can see and correct how their work is used.
Royalty aligned
The model sets aside a share of revenue for expert royalties. Payment and reuse terms are agreed before a contribution is commissioned.
The questions we help answer
Emerging technologies create questions that reach beyond the technology itself. Martlet brings expert judgement to the evidence, risks and wider consequences, helping businesses, investors and public institutions decide how to respond.
Carbon removal
Does the evidence support the climate claim?
An investor or corporate buyer needs to understand how a carbon removal technology works, how its impact is measured and what could prevent it from delivering the promised climate benefit.
Quantum computing
What changes with quantum computing?
A CTO wants to understand what quantum computers can and cannot do, how the technology is developing and what its capabilities could mean for encryption, data security and the business.
Autonomous vehicles
How could self-driving vehicles change a city?
A city authority wants to understand how autonomous driving works, where its capabilities and limitations lie, and what wider adoption could mean for infrastructure, travel patterns and taxi jobs.
