When your team runs the same type of analysis repeatedly (quarterly competitive landscapes, regulatory precedent reviews, or pipeline deep dives for each therapeutic area), report blueprints let you define the structure once and reuse it. Blueprints standardize section layouts and objectives so every report meets the same quality bar.
Start a new research report
Click Research Reports in the left toolbar. You can create a report by typing a prompt and letting the AI build the structure, or by configuring it manually with a blueprint.
Browse and apply a blueprint
Click Blueprint Library (top-left) to browse available templates. Blueprints are organized into four tabs: All (built-in Maven Bio templates and your custom blueprints), Shared (globally accessible templates), Mine (blueprints you created), and Starred (quick-access favorites). Click a blueprint to preview its sections, then click Apply to use it.
Configure a report manually
Select or configure manually to build a blueprint from scratch. Enter a Report Objective to define the analysis goal, then add sections using the "+" icon. Each section has a title and topic description that guide the AI's research. You can duplicate, reorder, or delete sections as needed.
Save and reuse your blueprint
Click the save icon above the objective box to store your blueprint for future use. Add a title, description, and category. You can update an existing blueprint or save a new one. This makes it available in the Blueprint Library for you and your team.
Attach entities and files for context
The right-hand panel lets you tag up to five items to enrich your report: drugs, trials, indications, mechanisms, prior reports, or Smart Tables. You can mix entity types (for example, a drug, a trial, and an indication) to give the AI richer context. You can also upload files (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, CSV, XLSX, TXT, MD, PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, or GIF, up to 25 MB) as additional source material.
Once your blueprint and attachments are set, click Generate Report to start the research process.
What you can do next
To generate the same report structure across multiple entities at once, use Batch Mode. To learn how to navigate completed reports and export them, see Viewing and Exporting Research Reports. To share blueprints with teammates, see Managing and Sharing Permissions for Blueprints.
