Upcoming Research shows you a snapshot of what our analysts are currently working on, and when we expect the research to be published. This is not an exhaustive list of all upcoming research, and we reserve the right to change planned research at any time without notification.
Recent Research is a running list of recently published Company Profiles, Analyst Insights, Market Reports, and Tech Pages. When one of these research types is published, it is automatically added to this list. By default, it is set to display your specific programs and coverage areas.
The Saved Search feature enables you to create a search with a specific set of filters, and then save that search to use again later.
You can contact your Client Engagement Manager with requests for any company information. We will do our best to reach out to the company and update the information we have on them.
The Lux Member Site search engine is optimized to handle the simple keyword searches that you are accustomed to entering on most search sites, while also allowing for more complex searches. The most common search use cases are searching by name for companies, technologies, and topics.
Lux recommends choosing keywords carefully to make sure you’re pulling up the most relevant results. Biodiesel vs. bio-diesel – the former brings up 300 results, the latter 3,000.
The “companies”, “tech”, and “markets” tabs in the top navigation help configure different search options tailored to the types of information you are looking for.
The “companies” tab returns a list of all the companies we have written about. Here, you can filter by criteria such as year founded, country, Lux Take, scorecard metrics, and more. Start here if you’re ready to adopt a new technology.
The “tech” tab contains content pertaining to companies (same as the “companies” tab) as well as reports that provide an industry overview. This is a good place to start if you’re in looking to learn more about the landscape of a technology.
The “markets” tab contains just the research providing an industry overview. This includes reports that are a resource for those starting to get to know a technology or industry.
Coverage Areas are defined groupings of technologies, topics, and content to which a client subscribes. A client may subscribe to multiple Coverage Areas. Clients have access to content on the Lux Member Site that is “tagged” to the Coverage Areas included in their subscription. Programs are also listed under Coverage Areas for our clients who subscribe to specific programs.
Categories are used by Lux Analysts or organize technologies and content that may apply to multiple Coverage Areas – for example, sensors or drones. As this is an interesting way to search for content on the Lux Member Site, we have made Categories visible to members in addition to analysts. In search, when you choose a Coverage Area filter, the list of categories in the Categories filter will narrow to only show categories relevant to that Coverage Area.
The charts tab is another way of exploring the Lux Research company coverage. You can find companies that match certain keyword or filter criteria on the left navigation filters, and then visualize them in a grid against the X and Y axes you choose. For example, this chart shows alternative fuels companies founded between 2014-2018, and plots their lux take and technology scores. As another example, this chart shows energy storage companies plotted with technology score and partnership score, which could help you identify companies with strong technology but under-developed partnerships.
The Lux Take is a 5-point scale ranging from Strong Caution to Strong Positive. It is an analyst’s evaluation of a company for which they have done an in-depth company profile, based on the 10-point methodology in the Scorecard.
Each score on the Scorecard is on a 5-point scale where 5 is the best possible score. If you hover over each individual category, you will see an in-depth description of what each category means.
In this section, analysts write about a about a concern or challenge they feel the company will need to overcome to achieve success. They provide the response that the company gave, as well as their own opinion on the matter.
Company profiles are updated based on the Lux Analyst's evaluation of expected market impact and pace of progress. Timing between updates varies; ranging from 12 months to never, with an average of an 18-24 month cadence. Contact your Client Engagement Manager with questions about the update plan for a specific company.
