Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find answers to the most common questions we receive.

Data

You don’t have to provide any data to start working with the VCG.AI. It uses publicly available industry data of your regional landscape in its database to generate its solutions. When you are ready for more granular and detailed outcomes, you can add your primary data into the model on top of the general one.

We are working with one of the largest global Business Data Analytics suppliers to procure the most relevant and up-to-date industry data.

Solution

VCG.AI’s algorithm is primarily trained to work with all organic by-products and waste types. We are currently expanding to the textile and chemical industry and looking to add metals and construction later on. If you are unsure if your waste streams are covered, please message us and we will provide a detailed list.

5. Reliable, Verified Intel – VCG.AI is structurally incapable of “AI hallucinations”, providing trustworthy insights and full source transparency.

6. Enables Deeper “Human-in-the-loop” Research –VCG.AI works alongside your teams and supports further “human-in-the-loop” research. While general AI tools typically access a maximum of 100 sources for a specific challenge, VCG.AI delves much deeper, offering up to 10,000 verified sources.

7. Business & Market Mapping – Offers business model design support and maps solutions to real-world companies and supply chains for directly applicable solutions.

VCG.AI offers specialised real-time circular technology and market intelligence in one centralised platform, providing all the insights your teams need.

Unlike more general intelligence tools that often focus on one specific type of data, such as IP or startup data, and provide analytics for a broad range of use cases, VCG.AI’s approach is just the opposite. It is built on comprehensive, expert-validated data and provides the analytics and workflows designed explicitly for realising your circularity vision.

VCG.AI combines data from a wide range of trusted sources—technologies, research, markets, IP, projects, startups, LCAs, and more —creating a unique spectrum of intelligence. This depth of insight allows you to develop unique action-ready solutions, going beyond the capabilities of other intelligence tools regarding the applicability, relevancy, and depth.
