Outcome

Near real-time analytics on large-scale research datasets

Proprietary / internal project

Overview

Kompass gives research teams at a prominent Middle Eastern education and research foundation a single dashboard to discover, track, and analyse patent and research activity across their portfolio, backed by a tuned Elasticsearch layer for fast discovery at scale.

Problem

Researchers needed a fast way to surface relevant patents and research trends from a rapidly growing dataset, without waiting on slow, manually-run reports.

Features

  • LinkedIn and Google SSO for frictionless institutional access
  • Automated, scheduled dashboards for research leads
  • Elasticsearch-powered discovery across large patent datasets
  • Database performance tuning for near real-time data projections

Key Learnings

  • Query and index design matter more than raw hardware once datasets cross a certain scale.
  • SSO integration across institutional identity providers has more edge cases than the docs suggest.
