Zintiq AI
Making early innovation decisions safer — without touching your IP.Zintiq helps R&D and procurement teams evaluate sourcing, risk, and tradeoffs early — before uncertainty turns into delays.
Innovation doesn’t fail in the lab. It fails in uncertainty.
In formulation-heavy industries like adhesives, most innovation is incremental — and most failures are statistical, not chemical.Teams aren’t blocked by a lack of ideas.They’re blocked by uncertainty around:
• producibility
• supplier exposure
• allocation risk
• working capital impact
• downstream consequencesThe result: slow decisions, late surprises, and conservative choices.
What Zintiq does — and what it doesn’t
Zintiq does• Supports early-stage procurement and innovation decisions
• Helps teams reason about risk, allocation, and tradeoffs
• Works without accessing formulations or recipes
• Respects enterprise security and IP boundariesZintiq does not• Generate formulations
• Replace R&D tools
• Access proprietary documents
• Train on customer data
• Sit inside your core systems (yet)
Adjacent to formulation. Not inside it.
Zintiq operates in the decision space around formulation:• sourcing strategy• dual/multi-supplier logic• exposure to feedstocks, geopolitics, force majeure• early allocation thinking• working capital implicationsWe deliberately stay out of formulation, blending, and polymerization.
Why this problem matters now
• Supply chains are structurally volatile• Sustainability adds constraints without removing old ones• Multi-sourcing is mandatory but hard to reason about early• Teams are expected to move faster — with less certainty
How we’re approaching this
Zintiq is currently in discovery and early experimentation.We’re working hands-on with a small number of teams to:
• understand real decision bottlenecks
• validate trust and adoption assumptions
• test what should not be builtNo AI demos.
No dashboards for show.
Just real problem exploration.
Who we want to learn from
• Category managers
• Innovation procurement
• Application engineering
• Plant buyers
• IT / security stakeholders
