Connect AI to scientific knowledge with evidence and oversight.
Explore scientific search, document analysis, and decision support with clear evaluation criteria and human review.
The challenge
Retrieval is only as good as its permissions.
Scientific information is distributed across publications, internal documents, and structured data. A fluent AI answer is useful only when its sources and limitations can be examined.
Implementation considerations
Make the boundaries explicit.
Choose a bounded research question
Start with a defined information task and an approved corpus. Specify what a useful answer contains, when the system should abstain, and who reviews uncertain results.
Preserve permissions and evidence
Apply source access rules during retrieval, preserve document versions, and show supporting passages. Treat instructions found inside retrieved material as untrusted content.
Evaluate before extending access
Test retrieval quality, unsupported assertions, sensitive-data handling, and reviewer effort using a representative evaluation set. Begin with read-only assistance; any action capability requires separate authorization and controls.
Technical perspective
The architecture behind the work.
Permission checks belong before retrieval, not after a model has already seen the source.
Scope the first step
Before the first commitment.
Can a model be pointed at all our research data?
Not safely. Retrieval is scoped to approved sources with existing permissions preserved, so a scientist can see which evidence produced an answer and whether they were entitled to see it.
