We audit the promises behind innovation.
Why we exist
The Innovation Audit is an independent publishing platform designed for people who want to understand where innovation is actually heading, without needing to speak the language of the industry.
It examines the claims behind the tech, ideas and businesses promising to change how we live and work. What holds up? What gets left out? And what happens when the hype meets evidence, economics and the real world? The publication covers innovation across science, technology, business and policy, from AI and health to deep tech, climate, industry and infrastructure.
Each story starts with a claim and follows it further than the headline usually does, looking at what checks out and which blind spots deserve more attention.
