Trendradar for Horizon Scanning and Foresight

This is an update to our old Trendradar ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45332076 ) # What changed * This trend radar focuses on trends in general (not only technological trends as the previous ones) * This trend radar splits individual trends into granular signals, and each signal is based one 3 or more individual sources. The idea is to provide companies a data-driven scan of the environment (horizon scanning) as a basis. With this basis, they can derive conclusions about the direction of a market. Although V2, there are still a few issues to fix, especially around self-reporting & PR sources which tend to overrepresent trends. Furthermore, we are planning on expanding it to include a more diverse set of sources (especially patents & GitHub), to catch changes even earlier. Ironically, AI has made web scraping per se cheaper, but overall it seems that the total costs (as a consequence of complexity and the sheer number of content) have increased.
