AI + EMERGING TECHNOLOGY

We use emerging technology to make business less complicated.

yellow3 lab researches, experiments with and builds platforms that remove complexity, lower barriers and help businesses operate better.

Technology should increase what people can accomplish. Humans remain responsible for the outcome.

HOW WE WORK

Research first. Build when it helps.

We do not begin with a product category. We begin with a problem worth understanding, establish what is true, test what technology can change and build only when the outcome is useful enough to repeat.

01 / RESEARCH

Understand before we build.

Markets, regulation, technology and evidence come first. Research is how we separate signal from noise.

02 / EXPERIMENT

Test what technology can actually change.

We prototype, connect technologies and challenge ideas. Some experiments become products. Many should not.

03 / BUILD

Turn useful outcomes into platforms.

When a problem deserves a repeatable solution, we build something businesses can operate without us.

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING NOW

Three problems. Three different outcomes.

Our products are different because the problems are different. The common thread is removing work, uncertainty or barriers that should not be there.

01
Digital Product Passports
Help buyers understand the market, define what they need and make provider decisions from evidence rather than claims.
02
AI market intelligence
Track real model movement, capability, adoption and policy so businesses can act on evidence rather than the AI news cycle.
03
Software creation
Let people who understand a business problem describe the outcome, while technology handles more of the engineering required to build it.
PRODUCT IN PRACTICE

From DPP uncertainty to a decision a buyer can defend.

The DPP Buyer Platform structures the buyer's work from strategy and readiness through evidence-based provider selection and procurement. yellow3 works for the buyer. The selected provider operates the passports.

DPP BUYER PLATFORM / LIVE PRODUCT
The evidence stays visible while the decision moves forward.

Buyers do not need another supplier list. They need a governed way to turn regulation, internal facts, provider claims and implementation evidence into a programme they can explain and defend.

01
Strategy and readiness

Establish scope, ownership, systems, data and what the organisation can already prove.

02
Capability architecture

Turn the buyer's situation into explicit requirements before comparing providers.

03
Evidence-based selection

Separate demonstrated evidence, provider statements and what remains not established.

04
Structured procurement

Carry unresolved conditions and decision evidence into the buying process.

FLAGSHIP RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

Where AI demand is actually flowing.

Model Adoption is yellow3's live weekly instrument for routed AI usage. It measures where demand is flowing by where the models were built, tracks the most-routed models and grades yellow3's own weekly call in public.

MODEL ADOPTION / LIVE WEEKLY DATA
Original measurement, not another AI opinion.

Launch announcements and benchmark headlines tell you what vendors say. Model Adoption follows observed routed usage over time, so businesses, journalists and researchers can see how the market is actually moving.

01
Regional share of routed tokens

Asia, the US, Europe and other origins measured as model origin, not user location.

02
Most-routed models

A ranked weekly view of which models are actually receiving traffic.

03
A public record book

Movement, streaks and changes preserved over time instead of disappearing into a news cycle.

04
yellow3 on the record

This week's call and last week's call, graded in public.

DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORTS

DPP supplier evidence

190 organisations mapped in an independent public register, with a machine-readable CSV and JSON dataset generated from the same evidence base.

EU REGULATION

EU AI Act record

A living instrument for what changed, what applies and what evidence sits behind the obligation status.

METHOD

Research that can be checked

Sources, methodology and dated records remain visible so conclusions can be inspected rather than merely trusted.

HUMAN DIRECTION

Machines can do more of the work. Humans should retain responsibility.

AI will automate work and change organisations. We should not pretend otherwise. The opportunity is to give people more leverage without giving away responsibility for the outcome.

01

People define what matters.

Objectives, constraints, priorities and material judgments remain explicit human responsibilities.

02

Systems do more execution.

Technology should remove repetitive coordination, complexity and unnecessary operating work where it can do so reliably.

03

Evidence stays inspectable.

Useful automation should make decisions easier to understand, not harder to question.

WHY IT MATTERS

Technology should lower barriers, not create new ones.

Capabilities that once required specialist teams, consultants and significant capital should become available to smaller businesses too.

yellow3 builds from the perspective of people who actually have to start companies, run operations and make decisions with limited time and resources. Useful technology is the goal, not impressive technology.

01
Make complex work easier to operate.

Remove friction without hiding the decisions that still matter.

02
Use technology where responsibility extends beyond business.

Product transparency, circularity and better information are practical places digital infrastructure can help.

03
Build regulation into the product.

European rules and standards should shape systems as they evolve, not be bolted on after launch.

04
Keep learning after shipping.

Technology, markets and regulation move. Products should be designed to move with them.

WHY WE KEEP EXPERIMENTING
We do not assume today’s AI architecture is the destination.

Language models have already changed what software can do. They may also be one stage in a much longer transition. That uncertainty is a reason to research and experiment, not a reason to pretend certainty.

Some of our experiments will never ship. That is useful too. Learning by building often creates knowledge that improves a completely different product.

LATEST INSIGHTS

Evidence, analysis and what changed.

We publish when there is something worth checking, measuring or understanding, especially across AI, Digital Product Passports, European technology and regulation.
