Consensus is built to search and summarize the scientific literature. Atlas goes further, combining publications, patents, clinical trials, companies, and web evidence into publication-ready intelligence reports built for R&D decision-making.
Consensus is an excellent tool for discovering and synthesizing academic evidence. Both platforms use AI to help researchers find evidence faster, but the difference is what happens after the search. Atlas is designed for scientific and competitive research teams that need to answer strategic questions by combining evidence from many sources into a complete, decision-ready report rather than a literature summary alone.
Consensus focuses on academic publications. Atlas combines:
Everything is synthesized into a single report.
Consensus helps researchers find and analyze papers. Atlas produces structured deliverables such as:
The output is designed for stakeholders.
Every Atlas project moves through a structured pipeline instead of simply returning answers to a search:
Consensus emphasizes AI-assisted literature discovery. Atlas includes human review throughout the workflow:
This helps teams maintain scientific rigor before reports are shared internally or externally.
Atlas is a better fit when your team needs to:
Not necessarily. Consensus excels at academic literature discovery. Atlas expands beyond literature to produce comprehensive scientific intelligence across publications, patents, companies, clinical trials, and other research sources.
No. Atlas is a research intelligence platform that combines scientific literature with patents, company intelligence, competitive research, and technology scouting to produce structured, publication-ready reports.
Yes. Atlas searches and analyzes scientific literature as one part of broader research intelligence, alongside patents, company information, and market signals.
Yes. Literature reviews are one of Atlas's core report types, alongside technology landscapes, target assessments, company intelligence, and competitive intelligence.
Atlas is built for R&D, innovation, technology scouting, competitive intelligence, and scientific strategy teams that need research they can confidently act on.
Go beyond literature search with AI-powered research intelligence that combines scientific publications, patents, companies, clinical trials, and human review into decision-ready reports.
