SEEDS Database

The database is the asset.
The API is the entrance.

Detailed information is centrally managed in the SEEDS DB. External AI receives only the index information required for discovery. This protects value while making it easier to find.

Inside the DB

What the SEEDS DB stores

The database holds more than introductory copy. It stores core information, technical and product details, development background, use cases, test data, evidence, patents, certifications, pricing, supply capacity, OEM availability, licensing conditions, desired partners, confidential documents, AI assessment history, status history, sources and access permissions.

Facts, provider claims, user experiences and future hypotheses are separated. Sources and dates are recorded. Access can be set at public, registered, NDA or internal levels.

Why structured data matters

Collecting information is not enough.

If every technology describes its applications, verification and supply conditions differently, neither companies nor AI systems can compare them effectively. The SEEDS DB creates a common structure without erasing each value’s individual story.

Separate facts from claims

Verified facts, provider statements, experiences and hypotheses are stored as different information types.

Record sources and dates

Tests, papers, patents and certifications include references and review dates.

Control access

Each item can be public, member-only, NDA-protected or internal.

Index API

External AI receives the index, not the database.

The API reveals what exists, what it may be used for and how ready it is—without exposing sensitive technical or commercial information.

Information that may be public

SEEDS ID, name, summary, category, problem addressed, use cases, industries, status, scores, evidence availability, inquiry status, detail URL and update date.

Information that remains protected

Detailed test figures, manufacturing methods, pricing, personal contacts, contracts, NDA documents, internal assessments and confidential files.

API Example

A website for people.
An index for AI.

People receive context and story. AI receives structured discovery data. Together, these layers improve both understanding and searchability.

GET /values/search?query=Japanese functional material for sleep products { "seed_id": "seed_jp_000001", "name": "TERRAS", "summary": "A textile material with multiple functional properties", "categories": ["functional_material", "textile"], "use_cases": ["sleepwear", "bedding", "sportswear"], "status": "SEEDS", "scores": { "information_completeness": 82, "verification": 61, "commercial_readiness": 74 }, "evidence_available": true, "detail_url": "https://theseeds.global/en/projects.html" }
Future vision

AI discovers. People decide and act.

In the future, enterprise AI agents and external services will be able to search THE SEEDS using natural language. They may discover a Japanese material for a sleep product, a university technology open to joint research or an ingredient ready for overseas expansion. Detailed evaluation and commercial discussions will then be managed through THE SEEDS.
