This I-Corps introduction captures working hypotheses only. Customer-discovery evidence and project decisions will be added here as they are validated.

THE CONCEPT

Adaptive electrochemistry and operando Raman, organized for decision automation

SpectraLoop is being developed to coordinate electrochemistry and operando Raman, turning linked measurements into a safety-gated, closed-loop workflow for data-informed decision automation.

  1. Measure
  2. Analyze
  3. Decide
  4. Adapt

Each linked measurement informs a documented next-step decision.

WHAT WE DO

Connect the experimental loop

  • Coordinate operando Raman measurements with electrochemical experiments.
  • Preserve experimental and preprocessing provenance.
  • Prepare linked Raman and electrochemistry data for real-time analysis and decision automation.
  • Develop toward safety-gated, adaptive experimentation.

WHO IT IS FOR

Teams working with complex measurements

  • Academic researchers.
  • Characterization facilities and national laboratories.
  • Instrument companies and industrial R&D teams.

WHY IT MATTERS

Shorten the path from measurement to decision automation

  • Reduce manual handoffs between instruments and analysis.
  • Improve experimental traceability and reproducibility.
  • Support safety-gated decision automation as integrations mature.

CURRENT SCAFFOLD

What is available today

  • Model-profiled CHI 760-series experiment configuration.
  • Connection-safe Raman acquisition planning with preprocessing provenance.
  • A dedicated workspace for electrochemistry-linked data analysis, machine learning, and future decision automation.
  • One electrochemistry workspace for protocol building, synchronized data, and offline checks.

The public interface is configuration-only. It does not connect to instruments, control a laser, or initiate an experiment.

CUSTOMER-DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

Questions to test before defining a product

  • Where do users lose time or confidence when coordinating electrochemistry and Raman measurements?
  • Which configuration, timing, and preprocessing records are essential for reproducible work?
  • How should a local, safety-gated instrument and decision-automation workflow fit with existing facility practices and software?
