Graphify Your Research

Perspective — Apr 9, 2026

Your report gets read once and forgotten. Now it can become a structured knowledge graph: queryable by AI, attributed to you, and earning you money.

You spent months on that report. Hundreds of hours of research, interviews, synthesized into something genuinely useful. Then what? It gets downloaded, skimmed, maybe presented in a meeting — and it's done.

That's the life cycle of most research reports. Good ones, too. The kind with real insights, backed by evidence, built on deep expertise. They deserve a longer life than a PDF on someone's desktop.

We built something to change that. At Fodda, you can now upload any research report — a trend report, whitepaper, strategic analysis — and turn it into a structured knowledge graph in under five minutes.

What happens when you upload

You drag and drop a PDF. That's it — no templates, no tagging, no metadata sheets. Gemini 2.0 reads the entire document and extracts structured intelligence: trends, evidence items, citations, and metadata. You get a preview of everything it found. You can edit the title, author, organization, and date. Then you confirm — and your expert graph is live.

1. Upload your PDF — Any research report, trend report, or whitepaper. No formatting rules.
2. Preview what the AI found — Trends, evidence, citations — extracted automatically. Edit metadata before confirming.
3. Your graph goes live — A dedicated page on Fodda, an API endpoint, and discovery by Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every MCP-compatible tool.

That last part matters. Your insights don't just sit in another database. They become part of an intelligence layer that AI tools actively query. When someone asks an AI about your topic, your expertise shows up — cited, attributed, traceable back to your work.

Your research stops being a file and starts being a service

Think about what a knowledge graph actually does. It takes the unstructured thinking in your report and gives it structure — named trends linked to evidence, evidence linked to citations, everything interconnected. AI systems don't have to summarize your PDF and hope for the best. They can query specific relationships, trace claims to their sources, and reason about patterns.

This is the difference between your work being cited and your work being forgotten. When a strategist at a major agency asks Claude about macro trends in wellness, your graph can be one of the sources it draws from — with your name on it.

And yes — you can earn from it

We're building revenue sharing into the platform. When users access your graph, you earn a share of the revenue. The model is straightforward:

• Per-API-call revenue — You receive 50% of the per-API-call fee when users purchase top-up API calls and use your graph.
• Subscriber pool — You receive a proportional share of 50% of subscriber revenue, based on your graph's share of total API call usage relative to others.

The more useful your graph is, the more API calls it consumes, the more you earn. Your research becomes a recurring revenue stream — not a one-time deliverable.

Full details are on our Revenue Sharing Terms page. The program is live — terms are being finalized as we onboard early contributors.

Who this is for

If you've published a substantial research report — something with real insights, evidence, and sources — this is for you. We're seeing interest from:

• Trend forecasters and strategists who publish annual or quarterly reports
• Research agencies sitting on libraries of client-approved whitepapers
• Independent analysts who want their work to reach AI-driven workflows
• Consultancies that want to distribute expert perspectives beyond the boardroom

It's not for slide decks or one-page summaries. The AI needs substance to work with — trends, evidence, sources. If your report has those, it will graph well.

See it in action

Green House's Thrive Report was one of the first expert graphs built using this system. A sustainability-focused trend report — uploaded as a PDF, extracted by AI, now live and queryable. You can explore the Thrive Report graph to see what a graphified report looks like in practice.

The graph includes named trends, evidence items, and full citations — all extracted from the original PDF. Every insight traces back to the source material.

Your expertise deserves more than a download count

Reports have always had a shelf life problem. Good research gets buried under the next report, the next deck, the next quarterly review. The knowledge is still valuable — it's just inaccessible.

Turning a report into a knowledge graph changes that. Your work stays queryable. It gets cited when it's relevant. And if someone's AI asks a question your research can answer, your expertise is what surfaces — not a generic summary from training data.

Upload takes five minutes. The graph is live immediately. Revenue sharing is built in.
