Company and technology reports
I research a question about a company, technology or its competitors. You receive a written report with the sources, my conclusions and the questions the evidence does not answer.

Answers about a company or technology, with the sources attached
I review patents, company reports and published research to answer questions about a business or technology. The report includes the sources, explains my conclusions and identifies what the evidence does not establish.

WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
Research for your question
Technology and supplier reviews
I review the published evidence for a technical claim, possible supplier or new approach. The report explains what supports the claim and what still needs to be checked.
Talk it through ↗Company and technology updates
I review changes in the companies and technologies you choose and send a written update with sources. We agree on the subjects and how often you need a report.
Talk it through ↗Sources come with the findings. I make clear what the evidence shows and what remains uncertain. A patent filing alone does not show that a product has shipped.
Research only, not investment advice. I do not recommend buying or selling anything.
Start with the company or technology question you need answered. We agree the sources, report format and review before the research begins.
Choose the right scope
We agree the work, deliverables, fees and outside costs before starting. Choose a focused project or continued help around your needs.
Start with a clear need. A retainer supports continued implementation; its scope, review schedule and terms are agreed individually.
WHO YOU’RE WORKING WITH
I’m Zachary Wolfe, a physicist and patent analyst. I read the patents, company reports and published research myself, and include the sources with my findings.
You keep control of your accounts and data. We agree on payment and any ongoing support before work starts.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you get in touch
Is Optical Alpha, the IP-based equity research newsletter, investment advice?
No. It is research only: a reading of patent evidence about public companies and technologies, with every count traceable to the query that produced it. Zachary Wolfe is not a registered investment adviser. You are responsible for your investment decisions.
