Moltera · Problem Brief

01 · The decision

What are you trying to decide?

Choose the description that best matches the decision your team is facing.

FIRST-STAGE BRIEFA broad description is perfectly suitable here. For example, “compare several candidate additives” gives Moltera enough context to begin a review.

Replace an existing moleculePrioritise alternatives to an incumbent or existing ingredient. Compare candidatesDecide which of several defined options deserve testing first. Prioritise a shortlistNarrow a larger bounded set before committing lab resource. Evaluate a defined familyExplore a bounded family where the final candidate set is still being assembled. Something elseIf it is still a defined molecular-selection problem, describe it briefly below.

Add a little context (optional)

One or two sentencesoptional

02 · Candidate space

How defined are the candidates?

This helps establish whether the decision involves a defined candidate set or a bounded molecular family.

Defined candidate setThe structures are known, even if they are not being shared here. Known, not specified hereThe team already has a candidate set but does not need to identify it in this brief. Bounded chemistry familyThe family is defined; the final list is still being assembled. Still early-stageThe possible molecules are not yet sufficiently bounded.

Add candidate context (optional)

Approximate countoptional

Broad family / roleoptional

03 · Context

What broad context matters?

Broad application and environment context helps Moltera understand which molecular evidence may be relevant to the decision.
