Everything published on this site stays free. Paid subscriptions add continuous monitoring of one sector, written for you and not published anywhere.
One email a day on what actually moved in emerging technology, drawn from published papers, patents and funded grants. No card, no trial, unsubscribe in one click.
Why pay when so much is free? The free briefing is broad and daily — a sweep across all twelve sectors. A paid subscription is deep and weekly on the one sector you care about: full research reports on a single development, written for subscribers and never published on the public site. If the free briefing already covers what you need, stay on it.
Not a newsletter and not a summary of the news. A briefing document, written for one subscriber, built only from primary sources.
Inside every one: executive summary · technology overview · key research developments · competitive landscape with named players and TRL · patent & IP analysis including freedom-to-operate · funding and investment intelligence · private-sector and startup watch · geographic and geopolitical analysis · regulatory landscape · a rated risk table · strategic recommendations split by role · technology readiness assessment · market outlook · what would change the assessment · what to watch, with windows · full numbered source list.
Charts are drawn from the sources themselves — publication velocity, patent activity, who funded it and where the largest awards landed. Every claim links to the paper, filing or award it came from. Where the evidence is thin, the report says so instead of padding.
For comparison: a single commissioned technology assessment from a research firm or consultancy typically runs into four or five figures and takes weeks. An analyst-firm subscription starts in the tens of thousands a year. This is the same class of document, produced from the same primary databases, at a monthly price.
A complete report, produced exactly as a subscriber's is — same sources, same length, same sections. No email required.
Cancel anytime. Prices in USD, billed monthly. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where your location requires it.

Ask us to research anything
Scheduled reports cover your sector. Research requests cover whatever else lands on your desk. Name a technology, a company, a claim you have been asked to verify — anything, in any field, not just the sector you monitor. We research it from primary sources and email you a full report as a PDF, usually within 24 hours.
“Solid-state sodium batteries for grid storage — who is closest to manufacturing scale, and what is actually blocking it?” · “Is this vendor’s claimed error rate credible against published results?” · “Who is funding fusion materials work in Japan?”

Need more than six sectors?
Or a specific standing brief, a different cadence, or access for a team? That is a bespoke engagement rather than a bigger plan, and it is priced on what it actually involves. Email info@kpsphere.com and tell us what you need covered.
How it works. After payment you get an email with a link to choose your sectors. Your first report or briefing follows within about ten minutes.
What you actually receive. Research reports arrive as a PDF you can file, annotate and forward internally, with the summary in the email itself. Every claim is sourced to a published paper, patent filing or funded grant award, each one linked.
Changing plans. Move up or down whenever you like from the billing link in any KPsphere email — it changes the subscription you already have, so you are only ever charged once and Stripe credits the unused part of the month.
Payments. Handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details, and you can cancel from any receipt email.
