# Chemistry & Materials

> Extraction, patent and sourcing workflows that keep conditions, families and supplier roles explicit.

Chemistry and materials questions depend on conditions: the substrate, the temperature, the unit definition, the claimed process. These workflows extract values with their conditions, and group patents and suppliers, so like is compared with like.

## Run a workflow

Each workflow page has a runnable request and notes on checking the output. Use [Search](/search/quickstart) when your application owns retrieval and analysis, or [DeepResearch](/guides/deepresearch-quickstart) for a cited report and files. Check [data sources](/data-sources) for the evidence your task needs.
