PESTEL Analysis: Prediction Ledger: Ex-Ante Prediction Tracking for Grant Evidence
A lab-facing SaaS where research groups register their programme's predictions before running studies, log outcomes as they land, and auto-generate a progress report of corroborated novel predictions — the verifiable evidence grant panels ask for at renewal.
The PESTEL analysis reveals a strong alignment with current institutional pushes for open science and reproducibility, though it faces significant cultural resistance from researchers fearing the exposure of failed predictions. The idea's success depends on transitioning from a voluntary tool to a mandated requirement by major funding bodies like the NIH.
