CxO Briefing: R&D & Scientific Acceleration
85% Reduction in Literature Review Cycle Time via AI BPMN Transformation
Research and Development Literature Review
How to implement AI Agents?
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect modeled the R&D workflow, implementing AI agents that rapidly ingest and synthesize scientific literature to accelerate hypothesis generation for new drug, material, or technology development.

Detailed Process Comparison: Before and After AI
1. Current State (As-Is): The Months-Long Slog
The literature review process relied on manual searching, reading, and synthesizing, leading to long project delays and the high probability of missing critical, nuanced connections across disparate studies.
| Scientific Sifting & Reading | R&D scientists manually read hundreds of papers and patents, taking months to produce a synthesized report. | Months of project delay; high human error rate in connecting distant research. |
2. Future State (To-Be): The AI Optimized Blueprint (85% Faster)
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect introduced parallel AI agents for ingestion and semantic analysis, creating a focused, data-driven synthesis report in weeks, not months.
| AI Semantic Synthesis | AI uses natural language processing to extract findings, flag conflicts, and map dependencies across the entire corpus, presenting results ready for expert review. | 85% reduction in time spent on initial data synthesis, freeing scientists for high-value experimentation. |
