what sets janine apart
Built for practitioners, not for curious browsers.
a method, not just data
Janine structures responses around Circulab tools (Value Chain Canvas, Circular Canvas) — not around content volume.
it cites its sources. always.
Every response shows where the information comes from — real client case, academic paper, podcast episode. You know what you're using.
it follows up. it doesn't just answer.
Janine asks questions to understand your context before suggesting. That's the difference between a generic answer and something you can actually use.
a strong circular economy vision
Janine defends a systemic, sober approach — reuse, supply resilience, local anchoring. Not recycling as the only answer.

ChatGPT is a generalist tool. Janine is trained on Circulab's sources and methodologies: 1,600 business models, 400 academic papers, the methodological tools (Value Chain Canvas, Circular Canvas, Partner Map) and 15 years of field cases. Answers are sourced and grounded in actual circular economy deployment practice.
The corpus has been built since 2010 by the Circulab team: field cases, academic papers, podcasts, and the methodological tools that have proven their value — Value Chain Canvas, Circular Canvas, Partner Map, Fresque de l'Économie Circulaire. Continuously updated by practitioners from 12 countries across 4 continents.
