Owned IP
Surfaced from what the firm names on its homepage and primary navigation, plus what a quick crawl turns up. Large firms may own more than is shown here.
The Harness
FrameworkA proprietary business logic layer for enterprise AI platforms consisting of four components: canonical ontology (entity-relationship model expressed as business concepts), event-driven context (event stream as persistent memory across agents), governed tool registry (versioned, access-controlled integrations for agents), and semantic data foundation (maps raw data to ontology so agents query business concepts, not SQL tables). The harness outlasts LLM or orchestration vendor changes.
Our assessment: Flagship, well-articulated IP with clear architectural detail; positioned as the core differentiator of Launch's platform offering.
ViewDirector-Verifier-Transformer (DVT) Operating Model
FrameworkA proprietary operating model for deploying AI enterprise-wide, referenced as the mechanism for executing use cases with clear ROI measurement at every stage.
Our assessment: Named and linked but described only at a high level on the captured pages; appears to be a distinct branded methodology.
ViewSix-Layer Intelligence Stack
FrameworkA structured enterprise AI platform architecture with six integrated layers: (1) Cloud Infrastructure Foundation, (2) Delivery, (3) Data, (4) Harness, (5) Agent, and (6) Governance. Built iteratively, starting with minimum viable infrastructure for the first production use case.
Our assessment: Detailed architectural model with clear layer definitions; central to the platform solution narrative and referenced throughout service pages.
AI Readiness Assessment
ToolA self-assessment tool that helps organizations determine where they are on the AI journey (Getting Started, You're Stuck, or Time to Supercharge) and maps them to appropriate transformation, platform, and software recommendations.
Our assessment: Linked as a CTA but no methodology detail shown on captured pages; likely a gated questionnaire.
ViewSlice-Driven Delivery Model
FrameworkA proprietary delivery methodology that builds the minimum viable harness and agent infrastructure for the first production use case (a 'slice'), then hardens the platform based on what production reveals. Each slice is self-funding and compounds platform maturity.
Our assessment: Named methodology with meaningful detail but no dedicated page; serves as an organizing principle for Launch's delivery approach.
