Artikore translates a target product brief into measurable formulation benchmarks and delivers lab-ready matches.
It profiles reference products on sensorials, performance proxies , and key constraints.
Using side-by-side panels and blinded evaluations, it defines acceptance criteria, then directs lab iterations to converge on feel, finish, and wear within tolerance.
Ingredient decks are rationalized for supply resilience and cost, and alternates are pre-approved to protect timelines. The output is a shortlisted set of matched formulas with clear pass/fail gates and a clean handoff into packaging compatibility, stability, and scale-up.
Deliverables
Benchmark dossier: side-by-side profiling of reference SKUs (sensorial, finish, wear, removal, residue)
Acceptance criteria: quantified pass ranges for texture, viscosity, slip, tack, payoff, and finish
Ingredient deck & alternates: primary INCI list with cost and availability notes plus pre-vetted substitutes
Iteration plan: v1/v2/v3 lab run schedule with change logs and evaluation forms
Panel testing kit: blinded sample codes, scoring sheets, and aggregation template
Matched formula set: 1–3 finalists with formulation notes and tolerance windows for scale-up
Handoff pack: specs for downstream stability, compatibility, and line trials
KPIs We Drive
Match attainment rate: % of attributes meeting acceptance criteria by iteration
Iteration efficiency: average cycles to reach finalist formula
Panel consensus score: variance reduction across blinded evaluator ratings
Cost alignment: delta to should-cost per kg vs. target
Alternate readiness: % of critical inputs with pre-approved substitutes
Cycle time: days from brief to finalist (vs. baseline)
