Quantified material intelligence

From Formula to Factory Floor

MoleQuant is an AI materials platform for GCC industry. We turn a formulation challenge into a physics-validated formula in ten days, then keep the raw materials behind it flowing. Built in Doha. QCS mapped.

Invested in by Qatar Development Bank

The journey

What “formula to factory floor” actually means.

Two halves of one loop. We discover and validate the formulation, then source and replenish the raw materials it depends on — and what the plant consumes refines the next formulation.

The handover between the two halves is the bill of materials: the validated formulation names exactly which raw materials, in what quantity and to what specification — so sourcing starts from a document, not a phone call.

Built for Qatar and the GCC

The materials platform built for the region, not adapted to it.

MoleQuant is the materials platform built from the start for the GCC, not adapted to it. We run both halves of the industrial materials problem: discovering and validating the formulation, and supplying the raw materials it depends on. Our workflows follow QCS standards, our interfaces are Arabic and English, and client data stays in the region.

Invested in by Qatar Development Bank

A national development bank stands behind MoleQuant and its mission for Qatari industry.

A stalled formulation, resolved

One client spent eleven months and fifteen failed experiments on a proppant formulation. MoleQuant generated 847 candidates and delivered a validated shortlist in four hours.

QCS mapping

Every result is mapped to Qatar Construction Specifications where relevant.

Data sovereignty

Client data is held in the GCC under Qatar's data protection law.

Arabic-first interface

Full Arabic and English, including right-to-left layouts.

Client isolation

Each client's data and results are isolated from every other client.

Audit-ready by design

Orders, receipts, registers and test records form one trail.

Gulf calendar and units

Sunday to Thursday working week, Hijri dates and local units.

Chemical Formula

A validated formulation in ten days.

You bring a chemical formula and the problem it has to solve. You get back a formulation that has already survived physics validation, with the synthesis route, compliance mapping and documentation to produce it, in ten days rather than eighteen months.

The problem

Trial and error is slow and costly.

Industrial formulation still runs on trial and error. Across the sector, an average R&D cycle takes around eighteen months, a large share of experiments fail before a viable candidate emerges, and each failed attempt consumes lab time, materials and budget.

You bring

The brief.

  • The target properties
  • The operating conditions
  • The compliance requirements
  • Any constraints on raw materials

You get

The package.

  • A ranked, validated formulation shortlist
  • The synthesis route

How a sprint runs

Ten days, from challenge to validated result.

DAYS 1 TO 2

Challenge definition

You set the properties, conditions and QCS parameters in the client portal.

DAYS 3 TO 4

AI candidate generation

Hundreds of candidates are ranked and scored inside MoleQuant's secure platform.

DAYS 5 TO 8

Physics validation

Every candidate is filtered through the Trust Engine by physical laws, manufacturing constraints and compliance checks.

DAYS 9 TO 10

Validated result

The full document suite is delivered.

One platform

Two halves of the same problem.

Discovering the right material and having it on site are not separate concerns. They are the same industrial problem, split in two by the software that usually serves it.

01

Formulate

A ten-day sprint turns a challenge into a physics-validated formulation.

02

Validate

The validated formulation names exactly which raw materials, in what quantities, to what specification.

03

Supply

The same team sources, plans and replenishes those materials so production can actually run.

One engagement. One team. One accountable party. From the formula to the factory floor.

Vendor-Managed Inventory

Vendor-managed inventory, connected to your formula.

MoleQuant's VMI service extends beyond formulation into your ongoing materials supply chain. You get continuous visibility and control over the raw materials your formulations depend on, backed by our team's 18 years of GCC industrial procurement experience.

A validated formula is only useful if the right materials reach production on time, in the right quantity, to specification. Most software stops at the document. MoleQuant keeps going: the same platform that specified the materials sources them, receives them, holds them and replenishes them.

Talk to our team about VMI

What VMI gives you

  • Quote requests and side-by-side supplier comparison
  • Approval routing by value, site and category
  • Receiving against delivery notes, with accept and reject reasons
  • Batch, certificate and expiry tracking
  • Safety data sheets, with hazard class carried across
  • Issue to job or cost centre
  • Minimum-level proposals with the reasoning shown
STEP 1

Materials specified

The validated formulation names exactly which raw materials, in what quantity and to what specification. That becomes the contract terms and the stock records, entered once, not retyped.

STEP 2

Sourced and approved

A request goes to several suppliers and the replies are compared side by side on price, lead time and past performance. Orders go to the right approver before anything is committed.

STEP 3

Received and held

Goods are received against what actually turned up. Every quantity carries its batch, certificate and expiry, and leaves stock against a named job.

STEP 4

Replenished

Real consumption and real supplier lead times set the minimum levels. They are recalculated and proposed with the reasoning shown, never changed silently.

You keep control of what is approved and what is spent. MoleQuant carries the work of sourcing, expediting and replenishing, and one accountable party stands behind both the formula and the supply.

The science

Not a black box. A physics-validated engine.

Generic AI guesses. MoleQuant reasons from real materials science: screening candidates against open reference datasets of known materials, and cross-checking every prediction against the laws of physics through the Trust Engine.

THE TRUST ENGINE

Eight stages

The validation layer has eight stages and records the reason each candidate passed or failed, so results are explainable.

THE METHOD

Optimisation

It explores the design space efficiently instead of testing every combination.

THE DATA

Datasets

Open reference datasets of known materials and their measured properties, all licensed for commercial use.

THE OUTPUT

Lab-ready results

Designed to be taken straight into your lab for confirmation.

HUNDREDSOF CANDIDATES CONSTRAINTFILTERS PHYSICSVALIDATION SHORTLIST Generated and ranked in hours Physical laws, manufacturing limits Compliance and QCS mapping Validated, lab-ready

Contains data from the Materials Project (materialsproject.org), licensed CC BY 4.0. Additional reference data from PubChem and NIST. MoleQuant does not use non-commercially licensed datasets in its commercial service.

How it works

From challenge to validated formulation, and on to the shelf.

A MoleQuant engagement runs in eight steps: four that discover and validate a formulation, and four that source, receive, hold and replenish the materials it needs. The last step feeds the first.

Steps 1 to 4: Discover and validate

01

Define the challenge

Submit the materials challenge in the client portal: target properties, operating conditions and compliance requirements. QCS parameters are pre-loaded.

02

AI generates candidates

MoleQuant's models analyse material properties and generate optimised candidates, ranked and scored inside the secure platform.

03

Physics validation

Every candidate is filtered through the Trust Engine: physical laws, manufacturing constraints and QCS compliance checks.

04

Validated result

You receive the complete formulation package: synthesis pathway, cost analysis, compliance and safety documentation.

Steps 5 to 8: Source and keep it flowing

05

Materials specified

The formulation names exactly which raw materials, in what quantity and to what specification. Units convert automatically.

06

Sourced and approved

Quotes are requested and compared; orders are routed to the right approver.

07

Received and held

Goods are received against delivery notes; each batch carries certificate and expiry; stock is issued to named jobs.

08

Replenished

Minimum levels are recalculated from real consumption, and the consumption record feeds back to step 1.

Deliverables

One engagement. The whole paper trail.

A sprint returns not just a formulation but its full scientific, compliance, safety and sustainability documentation. VMI keeps producing documents long after it: the orders, receipts, registers and records that prove what was bought, held and consumed.

Scientific reportCompliance mappingSafety documentationSustainability documentationPurchase ordersReceiptsStock registersConsumption records

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint for every formulation.

MoleQuant Carbon Footprint calculates the embodied carbon of a formulation or material from its inputs and process, so GCC manufacturers can report and reduce it. Calculation is live today and automated by the platform; accreditation is launching.

  • Carbon footprint per formulation, per batch and per site
  • Input-level breakdown showing where the emissions come from
  • Comparison of alternative formulations on carbon and cost
  • Reports for customers, tenders and audits

Carbon is cheapest to cut at design time. Because the footprint comes from the same formulation record MoleQuant validates, you can compare options before a single batch is made.

Diversification is accelerating

Qatar's industrial sector is expanding across oil and gas, petrochemicals and construction — all of which need advanced materials R&D.

No direct GCC competitor

No competitor occupies the fast-and-physics-validated quadrant: ten days against the twelve to eighteen months of legacy R&D platforms.

High willingness to pay

A single avoided failed experiment can exceed $100,000, which justifies an annual subscription on its own.

Chemical Formula

How does MoleQuant's AI formulation work?

MoleQuant's AI generates hundreds of candidate materials for your challenge, then its Trust Engine filters each one through physical laws, manufacturing constraints and compliance checks. You receive a ranked, validated shortlist with synthesis route, cost analysis and documentation, not a raw prediction.

How long does a formulation sprint take?

A MoleQuant formulation sprint takes about ten days from a defined challenge to a validated result, compared with an industry-average R&D cycle of around eighteen months. Candidate generation itself takes hours.

What is the Trust Engine?

The Trust Engine is MoleQuant's eight-stage validation layer. It cross-checks AI-generated candidates against open reference data such as the Materials Project, PubChem and NIST and against physical constraints, and it records why each candidate passed or failed, so results are explainable rather than black-box.

What data does MoleQuant use, and is it licensed for commercial use?

MoleQuant uses open reference datasets licensed for commercial use, including the Materials Project (CC BY 4.0), PubChem and NIST, with attribution. MoleQuant does not use datasets restricted to non-commercial use in its commercial service.

Do results get tested in a lab?

MoleQuant results are lab-ready: they are designed to be taken straight into your lab for confirmation.

What does a formulation sprint deliver?

A sprint delivers a ranked validated formulation shortlist, synthesis route, cost analysis, compliance mapping, safety documentation and a plain-language report.

Vendor-managed inventory and carbon

What is vendor-managed inventory (VMI) at MoleQuant?

MoleQuant VMI is a service in which MoleQuant sources, tracks and replenishes the raw materials your formulations depend on, with quote comparison, approval routing, receiving, batch and expiry tracking, and minimum-level proposals with the reasoning shown.

How is MoleQuant VMI different from ordinary inventory software?

Ordinary inventory software starts after the order. MoleQuant VMI starts from the validated formulation, which already names the raw materials, quantities and specifications, so the data is entered once and carried through sourcing, receiving and replenishment.

Do I need the formulation service to use VMI?

No. VMI can be used on its own for materials you already formulate. Used together, the formulation record and the consumption record inform each other.

Can MoleQuant calculate the carbon footprint of a formulation?

Yes. MoleQuant calculates the carbon footprint of a formulation from its inputs and process, with an input-level breakdown and comparison between alternatives. Calculation is live today and automated by the platform; accredited reporting is launching.

Commercial and trust

How much does MoleQuant cost?

MoleQuant starts free: the first proof-of-concept sprint carries no commitment. After that, Standard subscriptions and Enterprise deployments are scoped to your challenge and sites. Pricing is agreed after the free sprint.

What does the free sprint include?

The free sprint takes one materials challenge through MoleQuant's process and returns a validated shortlist and summary so you can judge the method on your own problem.

Who owns the results and my data?

Your challenge data and results belong to you. MoleQuant isolates each client's data from every other client and does not use one client's confidential data for another.

Where is my data stored?

Client data is held in the GCC under Qatar's data protection law.

Is the platform available in Arabic?

Yes. The MoleQuant client portal is available in Arabic and English, including right-to-left layouts, Gulf working week and Hijri dates. Project documents are issued in English.

Does MoleQuant follow Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS)?

MoleQuant maps results to Qatar Construction Specifications where relevant. QCS parameters are pre-loaded in the client portal.

How is MoleQuant different from other AI materials tools?

MoleQuant validates rather than only predicts, and it connects formulation to supply in one platform, built for GCC standards, languages and data residency. Global tools usually stop at the molecule.

How do I get started?

Request a free sprint through the contact form or email the team with a short description of your challenge. MoleQuant replies within one business day.

Trust Centre

What we have in place, and what we are still building.

Your formulations are the most commercially sensitive thing you could hand us. The Trust Centre sets out where your data lives, who can reach it, which security documents are approved, and the controls that are not finished yet — with a date against each one.

Hosted in Doha

Production runs on Google Cloud in Qatar. Daily encrypted backups are kept off the production server.

Encrypted, and never used for training

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Your formulas are never used to train any model, ours or a provider's.

Every figure traces to a source

Emission factors, patent records and prices are retrieved and cited. No quantity in a deliverable originates in a language model.

Nine approved security documents

Policies, an incident response plan and a disaster recovery plan, approved and available to clients, auditors and investors on request.
