A Few Stocking Stuffers from Traction Technology: Free Trend & Technology Scouting Reports
As the year winds down, many innovation teams are doing two things at once:
- Wrapping up initiatives already in motion
- Starting to think about priorities for the year ahead
This time of year is rarely about launching new projects.
It’s about exploring, reflecting, and getting a clearer view of what might matter next.
With that in mind, we wanted to offer a few stocking stuffers from Traction — not pre-written reports, but free access to our platform so you can generate your own trend and technology scouting reports, tailored to what you care about.
🎁 What We’re Offering (For Free)
For a limited time, you can try Traction AI at no cost and use it to run:
- Technology trend reports across industries or themes
- Startup and vendor scouting reports based on your criteria
- AI-generated company snapshots and comparisons
- Market and category scans to support early-stage exploration
No obligation.
No commitment.
Just a practical way to explore what’s happening — on your own terms.
🎁 What You Can Explore During the Free Access Period
Here are a few examples of how teams typically use this time:
🎄 Explore AI and Emerging Technology Trends for 2026
Run reports to see which technologies are gaining traction, how categories are evolving, and where enterprise adoption appears to be accelerating.
🎄 Scout Startups or Vendors in Specific Areas
Search and generate snapshots for startups in areas like manufacturing, sustainability, supply chain, enterprise AI, or other domains relevant to your business.
🎄 Compare Technologies Without Chasing Shiny Objects
Use structured reports to look past hype and better understand maturity, positioning, and potential fit — before investing significant time or resources.
🎄 Test How AI Can Support Innovation Workflows
Experience firsthand how AI can support discovery, synthesis, and early evaluation — without changing your existing processes.
🎄 Why We’re Doing This
We believe better innovation decisions come from hands-on exploration, not just reading summaries or reacting to headlines.
This free access is designed to:
- Help teams explore ideas they didn’t have time to investigate this year
- Reduce the friction of early-stage scouting
- Provide a low-risk way to see how AI can support innovation work
If it’s useful, great.
If not, you’ll still walk away with clearer insights.

A Final Year-End Note
As we head into 2026, one pattern continues to stand out:
The most effective innovation teams aren’t chasing every new idea —
they’re exploring thoughtfully, testing quickly, and focusing their energy where it matters most.
If free access to Traction helps you do that over the holidays or as you plan for the year ahead, we’re glad to offer it.
From all of us at Traction,
happy holidays — and here’s to a focused, informed start to 2026.
