A vertical screenshot of the Grata platform showcasing Grata's Agentic Search chat box. In the chat, the user asks Grata, "Explain to me the value chain of the electric vehicle industry." After interpreting the search, Grata responds, "Here's a concise view of the EV value chain: upstream materials (lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite) and refining; battery cells and packs (cathode/anode materials, cell manufacturing, pack assembly, BMS); core vehicle components (e-motors, inverters, power electronics, thermal management, lightweight structures); vehicle design and assembly (OEMs, contract manufacturing); charging and energy infrastructure (hardware, software, grid interconnection, energy management); downstream distribution and services (sales, financing, fleet management, telematic); and end-of-life (second-life batteries, recycling).

Think critically

‍Interact with the answers it gives to propel you into your next line of questioning. Use reasoning-based prompts and Agentic Search will explain the answer and the logic behind its responses.

Two side-by-side vertical screenshots of the Grata's Agentic Search feature. After interpreting the search, Grata asks, "Would you like to explore companies within any of these segments?" It offers quick suggestions to narrow the search: battery materials refinishing and cell/pack manufacturing; EV powertrain and power electronics suppliers; charging infrastructure hardware, software, and grid services. The user inputs, "Which of those segments has the most macroeconomic resistance?" In the second screenshot (right), the agent responds, "Broadly, downstream services like fleet management and maintenance, and grid-tied charging software with recurring usage tend to be more resilient; midstream battery materials and cell manufacturing are more cyclical due to commodity and capex exposure; OEM assembly is highly sensitive to consumer credit and incentives; recycling can be counter-cyclical once feedstock volumes are established. Are you interested in exploring companies in the more resilient segments?" The agent suggests the following to narrow the search: fleet management, telematics, and maintenance services for EV operators; charging network software and energy management platforms with usage-based or subscription revenue; battery lifecycle and recycling.

The agent responds, "I'm lining up independent EV fleet management, telematics, and maintenance providers with at least 50 employees to gauge how many sizeable bootstrapped operators remain. Which direction would you like to look next?" followed by quick suggestions to narrow the search: companies with 100-500 employees representing established mid-market operators; businesses generating annual revenue between $10 million and $100 million; firms headquartered in North America.
