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 operando Raman, organized as a closed learning loop

SpectraLoop is being developed to turn operando Raman from passive characterization into closed-loop, adaptive experimentation.

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

Each experiment informs the next planned measurement.

WHAT WE DO

Connect the experimental loop

  • Coordinate operando Raman and electrochemistry.
  • Preserve experimental and preprocessing provenance.
  • Prepare data for real-time analysis and ML-guided decisions.
  • Develop toward 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 spectrum to decision

  • Reduce manual handoffs between instruments and analysis.
  • Improve experimental traceability and reproducibility.
  • Support safety-gated 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 boundary for downstream data analysis and machine learning.

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 workflow fit with existing facility practices and software?
