Building a technology radar with sourc.dev data

How to use sourc.dev data to build and maintain a structured view of the AI ecosystem relevant to your organisation.

A technology radar is a structured way of tracking which technologies your organisation is adopting, evaluating, or moving away from. The AI ecosystem moves fast enough that without one, you are reacting to changes rather than anticipating them.

sourc.dev provides the verified data layer that makes an AI technology radar factual rather than opinion-based.

The four rings

Adopt. Technologies you are using in production and recommending broadly.

Trial. Technologies you are evaluating for specific use cases. You have run experiments.

Assess. Technologies worth watching but not yet testing.

Hold. Technologies you are actively moving away from.

What sourc.dev data tells you

Price trend. An entity with consistently falling prices is a strong Adopt or Trial candidate.

Integration velocity. An entity gaining certified integrations rapidly is gaining ecosystem momentum.

Quality grade. An A grade means comprehensive, recent, verified data.

BRS. A very high BRS entity is unlikely to disappear but carries ecosystem risk.

Maintaining the radar

Quarterly review — checking for price changes, new integrations, or significant product changes — keeps it current. sourc.dev’s /changes feed surfaces these changes automatically.

Start here: List the five AI tools your organisation uses or is evaluating. Find each on sourc.dev and note its quality grade, BRS, and most recent price change.
