Research software and training, built by researchersAuthentic Research Partners · Princeton, NJ

Research software, data workflows, and AI capability building for pharma, research institutions, and R&D organizations. Built to last and run on your hardware and infrastructure.

What we solve

We've spent a decade at the intersection of research and software engineering.

We understand the science, we build production software, and we start by understanding the actual problem before writing any code.

01

"It works on my laptop"

Your scientist wrote a Python script that does exactly what's needed. Now three people need to use it, IT can't support it, and the author is moving on.

02

The spec was right. The tool was wrong.

Engineering delivered what was asked for. Scientists tried it twice and went back to spreadsheets. The problem wasn't the build. It was what got lost in translation.

03

Everyone says AI. Nobody says which model, where, or why.

Your team is evaluating tools, models, and frameworks without a clear picture of what fits your actual research workflow. The wrong choice wastes months. The right one changes everything. The difference requires understanding both the science and the technology.

04

The vendor built a demo, not a product.

It looked great in the presentation. In production, it doesn't handle your data, your edge cases, or your compliance requirements.

05

The postdoc who built everything is leaving.

Undocumented code. No tests. No one else knows how it works. Six months of work is about to walk out the door.

Research and AI Capability Building

We train both research and technical teams. For technical teams, that means understanding research workflows, scientific reasoning, and how to build better tools for researchers. For research teams, that means learning how to use AI in meaningful ways to support scientific work. This grows naturally out of the same problem we solve in product development: connecting research needs with the right technical execution.

Tools & Research Initiatives

research-mentor

Adaptive guidance system for research methodology. Question formulation, experimental design, literature review, data analysis, writing, and communication. Source-available, free for individual use.

scicode-lint

Methodology checks for scientific Python code. Catches data leakage, improper cross-validation, mishandled class imbalance, mismatched loss functions. Runs locally on a small open model.

sciwrite-lint

Verification for scientific manuscripts. Checks that references exist, metadata is accurate, and citations support the claims being made. Produces a SciLint Score for integrity and contribution quality.

Society of Teen Scientists

Research education for talented young scientists. Research labs, deep physics and math training. Princeton and online.
