Compass Lenses

Start from a question, not a blank page

A Lens is a saved starting point for a technology question. Open one to see the topics inside it, how their coverage is moving, and how they connect in the source record.

Reach for a Lens when you know the area you care about, but not yet which companies, models, products, or standards are driving the coverage.

How a Lens works. Each Lens below is a curated set of related companies, models, and technologies. Open one and Compass extracts the latest information on those entities and assembles them into a single view: what's gaining or losing coverage across the set, how they rank against each other, and how they connect in the source record.

Every figure opens to the dated articles behind it. Compass shows the movement and the evidence; what it means is your call.

A topic page follows one name. A Lens follows a market question. A State of X report turns that Lens into a briefing.
Start withWhen you want to knowWhat you get
A topic "What's changing around this one company, product, model, or technology?" A topic workspace, and a single-topic report
A Lens "Which names and themes are driving this market question?" A reusable multi-topic workspace
A State of X report "What's the briefing-ready read across the whole Lens?" A multi-topic report — leaders, movement, concentration, and sources
