IP & LegalTech Operations intelligence.
From workflow to decision.
The only platform that instruments your workflows end-to-end
and tells you whether to buy, build, or extend.
CBlindspot maps every tool, human handoff, and AI agent across your IP stack. Detect where time is lost, benchmark against peers, and get a Buy/Build/Keep recommendation engine that activates automatically when a bottleneck is detected.
Workflow Optimizer
Map every tool, handoff, and agent in your IP stack
Buy/Build/Keep Engine
Triggered automatically when a bottleneck is detected
MCP Orchestration
Connect any tool via API, MCP, OAuth, or Webhook
In active design partnership with enterprise IP departments across all verticals.
See. Decide. Orchestrate.
The only platform that instruments IP workflows from end to end — turning operational data into vendor decisions and workflow actions.
Instrument Everything
Map every workflow node: tools, human handoffs, AI agents, and time gaps. Benchmarked against real IP department data across peer organizations. Includes audit trail logging and compliance tracking.
Decide With Evidence
When a bottleneck is detected, the Buy/Build/Keep engine activates automatically. Score vendors against internal build scenarios with TCO modeling, AHP multi-objective scoring, and practitioner reviews.
Orchestrate Your Stack
Connect purchased and custom-built tools via MCP, API, OAuth, or Webhook. Build automated workflows with scheduled triggers, approval gates, and error handling that span your entire IP technology ecosystem.

- TCO comparison across vendor licenses vs. internal development
- Stakeholder collaboration with weighted criteria
- AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) multi-objective scoring with sensitivity analysis
- Win/loss tracking — learn why teams choose or reject vendors
- Practitioner-sourced reviews with verified credentials
