1. Market Pull Discovery
Company priorities, industry gaps, sponsor signals, infrastructure needs, regional opportunities, and public-sector goals.
Capability families
Five method families. One opportunity-development model.
Arns capabilities are organized around the work required to convert market pull and IP into a corrected, fundable opportunity package.
Core capability families
Everything else supports these five functions.
2. IP + Complement Mapping
University IP, lab IP, corporate IP, startup technology, expired patents, facilities, datasets, know-how, and external rights holders.
3. Opportunity Package Design
One-page snapshots, briefs, visual maps, business model logic, sponsor narratives, and decision surfaces.
4. Funding + Sponsor Pathway
Who funds what, why they benefit, what uncertainty is reduced, and which milestone should be funded next.
5. Venture / Build Routing
Founder profiles, student teams, operators, corporate-sponsored builds, licensees, venture teams, and go/no-go gates.
Supporting methods
Existing Arns methods now sit inside the Sponsored Opportunity Development system.
Translation Architecture
Makes complex IP legible to buyers, sponsors, university reviewers, operators, and builders.
IP White-Space Assembly
Shows how multiple IP assets, capabilities, and external complements can create a stronger opportunity than a single listing.
Cinematic IP Architecture
Turns complex opportunities into visual storyboards, maps, and sponsor-ready decision surfaces when helpful.
Portfolio Interface Engineering
Creates clearer ways for reviewers, companies, students, and partners to navigate IP portfolios around market pull.
Sponsor-Fit Framing
Converts an opportunity into language a funder, corporate partner, airport, city, or strategic sponsor can act on.
Go / No-Go Design
Defines the correction questions and decision gates that prevent premature or unfunded commercialization paths.
