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.
Anyone can get an answer in seconds now. The hard part is getting one you can defend when it’s challenged, with a named expert behind every claim.
Martlet builds and maintains bodies of expert knowledge to answer your most consequential questions.
Each corpus brings together structured interviews, licensed work and the considered views of the people who built the field. Martlet turns that knowledge into clear, defensible answers. Every important claim is traceable to a named source and reviewed by our team of analysts.
You can test the assumptions, examine competing views and ask what would change the conclusion. The experts who contribute stay attributed, protected and paid.
The aim is an answer you can understand, pull apart and stand behind when it counts.
Built for fields where the stakes are real: climate, biotech, advanced materials, nuclear.
An answer that holds when the decision is challenged.
Clients get answers. Experts get paid.
People making serious decisions need somewhere to ask. The experts whose knowledge underwrites the answers need to be paid when their work is used.
Access to expertise you couldn’t previously buy.
The people who actually understand these fields are scarce, distributed, and slow to reach. Martlet brings their work into one place and gives you a way to ask it questions, with the experts behind it on the record.
What clients get →Knowledge that earns more than once.
Residuals, the way Hollywood pays actors: your work earns every time it’s used. Contribute under licence, including the papers, reports and research you have the rights to bring, and keep your name attached.
The deal for experts →From expert knowledge to useful answers.
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.

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.
Trust is shown, not asserted.
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
A fixed share of revenue funds the expert royalty pool. The methodology is published, and the payouts are auditable. If the work earns, the experts earn.
Climate first, then anywhere a wrong call is expensive.
We start where the gap is most visible right now, and where we already have relationships in the expert community. The same approach works wherever expertise is scarce and decisions are expensive to get wrong.
The gap is most visible here.
Capital is moving into frontier carbon work faster than diligence can keep up. The raters disagree with each other. Diligence cycles are slow. Buyers want answers they can stand behind, and the experts who can give them are not paid well when they do.
The same approach, applied wider.
The same approach works wherever expertise is scarce and a wrong call is expensive. We will expand only where we can build the same depth of expert coverage, not wherever we can plant a flag.
If the call you are about to make matters, come and talk to us.
We are early, and some of this is still being worked out. We would rather say so than oversell it. We are talking to a small number of clients and a careful first group of experts. The quickest way in is to commission a report.
You have a serious decision in front of you.
Investment teams, strategy teams, procurement teams, funds, corporates and governments who need expert intelligence on a specific call. Tell us the question. We will tell you what we can do.
