Sustainability

NeuralClaim exists to make invention accessible to people the system usually leaves out. So for us, sustainability is less a carbon report and more a set of choices: who we build for, what we refuse to build, and how we run the thing.

Equitable by design

The cost of getting an idea taken seriously, the patent searches, the prior-art reads, the feasibility work, has always favored people who can already afford lawyers and consultants. We compress that cost so an under-resourced inventor can walk into a real conversation prepared. Lowering that barrier is the most durable good we know how to do, and it is the reason the company exists.

Ethical guardrails

Our Acceptable Use rules are not boilerplate. Our AI assistants are configured to refuse work that harms people, animals, or the environment, including carceral and coercive devices, mass surveillance, weapons, and tools built to override human agency. We advocate humane alternatives to animal testing, such as organ-on-chip systems, digital twins, and AI-driven biosimulation, and we will not support or pursue inventions that rely on live-animal experimentation. These limits are written into our Terms of Use and IP Ownership Policy, not just stated here.

Efficient infrastructure

We run on serverless infrastructure that scales to zero, so we are not powering idle servers when a feature is not in use. Our compute runs on Google Cloud, which reports that it has been carbon neutral since 2007, has matched 100 percent of its annual electricity use with renewable energy purchases since 2017, and is working toward running on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030. We host our own semantic-search model rather than calling an external one for every search, which keeps that work on infrastructure we control.

Honest about where we are

We are a small, early company, and this page is a statement of intent more than a finished record. We are not going to claim to be carbon neutral as a company, or to hold offsets we have not bought. As we grow, we will measure more, say more, and do more, and we will tell you plainly when we fall short.
