Vision
ARTE connects farms interested in innovation with seed companies, universities, and NGOs that need diverse trial sites. The vision is a faster, broader innovation pipeline for regenerative practices, climate-resilient varieties, and precision agriculture, with fair compensation to farmers and transparent, replicable methods. Sponsors accelerate diffusion of proven practices while strengthening rural economies and environmental outcomes.
Problem
Trial sponsors struggle to recruit representative sites; farms face paperwork, risk, and uncertain value. Results are scattered across PDFs, spreadsheets, and field notebooks, hindering replication and meta-analysis. Thin networks cause promising ideas to stall in pilot purgatory. Without a structured marketplace, time-to-insight remains slow and costly, and trust between researchers and producers erodes.
Solution
Cosolvent simplifies matching by crop, region, and risk tolerance, then applies LLM+RAG to unify unstructured trial assets. Farmers and sponsors can upload trial protocols, planting maps, drone imagery, soil tests, and yield sheets; the system answers natural questions—“which sites achieved >10% water savings?”—and extracts comparable metrics with citations back to source files. ClientSynth introduces synthetic farms and projects to demonstrate cross-season demand, data completeness, and likely outcome distributions, giving sponsors credible previews of program scale and variability before committing capital.
Business Model
Business models include sponsor subscriptions, per-trial success fees, and white-label networks for industry groups. Environmental funders can underwrite access for smallholders, and privacy-preserving data products can support agronomic research. Sponsors benefit from reduced recruitment cost, faster learning cycles, and rigorous, transparent reporting tied to real-world variability.
