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, battery and critical minerals 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:• producibility risk assessment
• 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/ Technical Procurement
• Application Engineering
• Plant process engineers
• IT / security stakeholders
• Formulation Chemists and R&D Managers
• Heads of Innovation
• Regulatory & Product Stewardship experts

This is an early prototype. Your feedback will shape what gets built.
After exploring the demo, we’d love your feedback. What worked? What didn’t? Would something like this help your team make better NPI decisions?
