Archetype model
MPAE
A measured, parameterized decomposition of how offshore boats actually vary — not a marketing taxonomy but a structural model. Eleven archetypes that emerge from the data, validated across 9,500-plus boats.

Three research artifacts
Physics engine
R11 / R12 stack
The active physics stack behind SailEdge™ and FleetEdge™. Force-based, per-sail modelling. Blanketing simulation. ORC-anchored deltas that compute bounded, explainable departures from the certified baseline.

Provisional filing
USPTO docket 0325-0001PR, filed 2026-03-05. IP custody held by SailrScience, LLC. The public-safe disclosure summarizes the claims without releasing claim-language verbatim.
See the disclosureAuthorship
Research is authored and operated by SailrScience, LLC — the research arm of SailrScience and the custodian of the IP. SailrScience Technologies, LLC ships the work commercially through SailEdge, FleetEdge, the partner program, and the services tier.
The split is structural, not stylistic. Research output isn’t a marketing artifact. Its truthfulness posture is independent of the commercial surfaces it powers.
Institutional surface
For ORC officials and class associations
The canonical institutional surface for SailrScience research as it applies to ORC and IRC official audiences sits on FleetEdge. It explains the methodology, the data provenance, and the rating-system implications.
