Academic Monitoring Template - Landed Research Lab Contract 🔥
Community discussed research paper tracking. No complete solution shared. Built automated monitoring system.
Landed contract with research lab. 12 researchers. Monthly retainer.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Researchers manually search multiple databases daily. ArXiv, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, PubMed. Tedious. Time-consuming. Inconsistent.
No existing automation addressed this. Market gap identified.
Built comprehensive solution. Research lab bought immediately.
THE SOLUTION:
Daily scheduled workflow. Searches multiple academic databases simultaneously. Validates paper quality (must have authors, abstract, PDF). Curates top papers. Delivers morning digest to team Slack.
Complete research monitoring automation.
THE RESEARCH LAB REACTION:
Before: "We spend first hour every morning searching for new papers."
After: "Papers waiting in Slack when we arrive. Start research immediately."
Automation changed their morning routine. More productive research time.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR CONSULTING:
Generic paper tracking = limited interest. "Just save links manually."
Automated daily monitoring = professional research tool. "Essential research infrastructure."
Comprehensive solution created consulting opportunity worth monthly retainer.
THE CLIENT RESULTS:
Research lab: 12 researchers. Each spending 5 hours weekly on literature searches.
Before automation: 60 researcher-hours weekly on manual searching.
After automation: Papers curated automatically. Research team reviews 15-minute digest. Saves 58 hours weekly.
Monthly retainer justified by massive time savings. Research lab productivity increased measurably.
THE EXPANSION OPPORTUNITY:
Research lab has connections to 6 other labs in same field. Referred automation to colleagues. Consulting pipeline filled through academic network.
Same workflow. Different research topics. Each lab becomes paying client.
THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Most researchers use manual Google Scholar alerts. Basic. Miss papers from other databases. No curation.
This automation searches multiple sources. Validates quality. Curates relevance. Professional-grade research monitoring.
Market differentiation clear. Labs willing to pay for superior solution.
THE TEMPLATE APPROACH:
Built reusable template. Deploy to each research lab. Customize search terms per field. Core workflow identical.
One development effort. Multiple deployments. Scalable consulting business model.
What professional knowledge work processes could become your consulting specialty?
