Our take

CRUX was founded to create the world's first knowledge GPS by quantifying knowledge. Its technology measures how much a user knows about a topic based on what content they consume.

It can leverage this data to help users beat information overload and make effective decisions. CRUX's SaaS product helps companies revolutionise research efficiency and start a proper knowledge economy, thereby transforming information overload from a liability into an asset.

CRUX helps its users increase retention, conversion, and revenue by engaging users. Its Natural Language Processing technology assesses topic coverage and calculate users' knowledge levels, ranking content items on their relative importance within a topic as well as the amount of new user insights they offer.

In the future, CRUX aims to become the standard knowledge measurement platform, measuring and guiding knowledge exchanges from deep research spaces to quality mass media. Fundamentally, CRUX, like a good GPS, works anywhere.
