Discovery projects
On May 23, 2026, Accenture Strategy unveiled the "Discovery Ledger," a specialized governance tool for multi--partner R&D ecosystems. This platform utilizes blockchain technology to establish "Intellectual Provenance," providing a transparent audit trail for hypothesis development and experimental data across decentralized research teams. By formalizing the tracking of "Intermediate Discovery Assets," the methodology enables organizations to manage the high uncertainty of collaborative scientific research while ensuring equitable value attribution for all participants, regardless of the project's final commercial outcome.
