The trust layer for AI.

AI models generate confident, fluent answers.
We build the benchmarks and the audit trail that test whether the reasoning holds up: under expert scrutiny, under adversarial conditions, under regulatory review.

AI in science is bottlenecked by the absence of rigorous evaluation

Models produce fluent, confident, and subtly wrong scientific claims. No trusted standard exists to catch them.

Plausible hallucinations

Models generate scientific reasoning that reads well but overstates evidence, flattens disagreement, or relies on outdated consensus.

No domain benchmarks

Existing benchmarks test recall and pattern-matching. None evaluate whether a model reasons like a careful scientist under real-world complexity.

Self-evaluation doesn't work

AI labs cannot credibly validate their own models for external trust — just as drug developers cannot run their own clinical trials.

Regulation is coming

The EU AI Act requires traceability and auditability for high-risk AI systems. The compliance deadline is August 2026.

Three forces are converging at once

And the infrastructure to handle them doesn't exist yet.

01

AI is being deployed in science

Pharma, biotech, and clinical workflows now run on frontier models. The question is no longer whether they're capable, but whether their reasoning can be trusted in decisions that matter.

02

Regulation is now law

High-risk AI rules under the EU AI Act take effect August 2026. Documented, traceable evaluation becomes a compliance requirement, not a research preference.

03

Self-evaluation has run its course

Labs publishing their own benchmark results is no longer sufficient. Every comparable category, e.g. drug trials, credit ratings, financial audit, product safety, eventually required an independent third party.

Today's AI models fail at science in ways that are hard to see

These are real failure patterns. The outputs read well. They're still wrong.

Failure Correlation treated as causation
"Increased activity in the motor cortex during the task demonstrates that this region drives the behavior."
Click to reveal flaw
Increased activity is correlation. The model skipped the step of testing whether disrupting the region impairs the behavior, the actual test for causal necessity.

Failure Exaggerated claims
"Increasing dopamine levels universally improves cognitive performance across all domains through enhanced synaptic plasticity."
Click to reveal flaw
A careful scientist would reject this premise. Dopamine effects are nonlinear, circuit-specific, and dose-dependent. Excess dopamine impairs prefrontal function. The model should challenge the claim, not explain it.

Failure Hallucinated evidence
"As demonstrated by Zhang et al. (2023) in Nature Neuroscience, optogenetic activation of D1-MSNs in the dorsal striatum is sufficient to rescue motor deficits in 6-OHDA lesioned mice."
Click to reveal flaw
This paper does not exist. The model fabricated a citation with plausible authors, journal, and methodology to support its argument. No expert reviewer would accept this, but automated evaluation would miss it entirely.

Four layers of scientific validation

A vertically integrated system for evaluating, benchmarking, stress-testing, and auditing AI in science.

Layer 01

Expert-Curated Evaluation Datasets

Scientific problems designed by domain experts to test what generic benchmarks miss.

Layer 02

Benchmarks built to be cited

Versioned, domain-specific evaluation suites. Quantitative. Comparable across models and over time. Built to cite, not to publish once.

Layer 03

Adversarial Scientific Testing

Systematic stress-testing of scientific reasoning under conditions designed to surface failures that matter.

Layer 04

Regulatory-Grade Audit Trail

Full provenance, reproducibility, and traceable methodology. Built for high-stakes and regulated environments.

This is not annotation. It's structured expert judgment under uncertainty — versioned, scored, and auditable.

We measure scientific reasoning — not recall, not preference

Existing benchmarks reward models for producing the right answer. We evaluate how they reason: whether they handle complexity, uncertainty, and contested evidence the way a careful scientist would.

Our methodology separates reasoning quality from robustness under adversarial conditions, scored independently by credentialed domain experts using proprietary evaluation frameworks.

The benchmark is versioned. Science evolves; the evaluation evolves with it.

Built for those who need AI to be right, not just fluent

AI Labs

Find the failure modes your safety team can act on

Independent evaluation and structured failure analysis, designed to surface the reasoning errors that matter — not the ones that look good on a leaderboard.

Biotech & Pharma

Validate AI before it touches decisions

Compare and evaluate AI tools for scientific workflows with audit-grade documentation.

Regulated Environments

Evaluation built for compliance

Traceable, reproducible methodology designed for high-risk AI system requirements.

What makes this different from everything else

Independent by design

We are not owned by or beholden to any AI lab. External validation requires structural independence — the same logic that governs drug trials, financial audit, and product safety certification.

Expert judgment, not crowd preference

Credentialed domain scientists, not annotators or user votes. Our evaluators detect the failures that matter in science.

Reasoning, not recall

We evaluate how models handle complexity, uncertainty, and contested evidence — not whether they can pick the right multiple-choice answer.

Built to compound

The benchmark isn't a snapshot. It's a longitudinal record. The value grows as models evolve and the field moves.

We are building the reasoning standard for scientific AI

NeuroBench v1 is our first benchmark. We're working with a small number of partners — AI labs, biotech teams, scientific institutions — to define what rigorous evaluation looks like in practice.
