Scientific evidence architecture

Your claims deserve a defensible chain of evidence.

ORAKLIS connects each result to its source, measures the uncertainties that matter, and identifies the next useful control—so you can decide with a clear view of what your data truly support.

Provenance reconstructed Uncertainties quantified Defensible scope Next control prioritized Verifiable method
The starting point

A number is not evidence. Evidence has provenance.

A claim may draw on dozens of publications, measurements, and databases while their provenance, experimental context, and relevance remain unclear. ORAKLIS reconstructs that chain to distinguish what is established, what remains uncertain, and what should be checked next.

Internal exploratory analysis

Our method reveals what a surface reading misses.

We applied a rule declared before data collection to twelve targets used in cosmetic claims. Depending on the target, the share of measurements for which the assay species cannot be verified ranges from less than 1% to more than 70%. This exploratory analysis is separate from the JCIM-submitted preprint and its confirmatory CARA and NTAB analyses.

The final two targets have no publicly usable potency measurements. Elastase, with near-complete traceability, shows that the method also identifies strong evidence records.

29.4%

“Human” tyrosinase

75 of 255 measurements attached to the target annotated Homo sapiens have an explicitly non-human or unresolved assay species.

Verifiable in two minutes: two assays whose descriptions literally say “mushroom tyrosinase” are attached to it.
59

“Unknown origin”

Fifty-nine measurements that the database itself marks as having unknown origin are nevertheless attached to the human target.

This is not our inference: it is the database text.

After curation

Measured in ChEMBL_37, after the official organism re-curation in version 34. This is not a historical remnant.

Mechanical reason: the organism field is correct—the attachment is not.

Median: 8.6%. Negative control—a non-human target (Agaricus bisporus tyrosinase, 983 of 999 measurements) correctly yields almost zero “human confirmed”: the rule discriminates. These rates are not a database error rate. They describe what our declared operational rule observes for a given target. A dedicated public package for this analysis is being prepared; the DOIs below do not reproduce this table.

What the review makes possible

From scattered data to a clear scientific decision.

The review does not chase a perfect score. It turns evidence received from a supplier, partner, or internal team into a usable map before listing, launch, investment, or a new testing program.

01

See what holds

Each result is connected to its source, assay, target, organism, and context. You can see precisely which evidence genuinely supports the claim.

02

Isolate what matters

Contradictions, dependencies, and non-comparable data are prioritized. Uncertainty becomes measurable rather than a general impression.

03

Choose the next action

You receive the control, test, or claim refinement that adds the most value before committing more time and budget.

The public record

A method you can verify independently.

On 30 July 2026, we publicly deposited the protocol and code before running the two confirmatory CARA and NTAB analyses. The timestamp, checksums, results, and complete reproducibility package are accessible: rigor rests on a process that can be checked, not on a promise.

Drag to rotate
Each point represents a document; each line illustrates two documents reporting a numerically identical value. Two distinct publications do not guarantee two independent measurements. This is a synthetic illustration, not the topology of the actual dataset.

3D view unavailable on this device.
The measured phenomenon is described in the preprint, including figures and code.

22.4%of publication–publication pairs report a numerically identical value.Under the matched-precision null model, the simulated frequency did not exceed 0.15%.
2.8% → 71.9%depending on the target. The average describes no single target.The same lesson as our traceability map: a target-specific rate cannot be inferred from the overall rate.
±0.02Equivalence margin frozen before execution. Both evaluated benchmarks fall within it.In other words, applying the native flag changes very little on average. We report it even though it is the least dramatic result.
−0.041Local effect concentrated among test compounds identical to training compounds.Conditional: 68 of 111 strata in this group become ineligible after filtering. We report that limitation explicitly.

What this record does not say. It establishes no causality: the retraining experiment that alone could address it was declined and recorded as such in the deposit. It does not claim that public benchmarks are invalid. Nor does the finding automatically transfer to other databases—we tested a reference clinical database, did not reproduce the finding there, and reported that result as well.

The protocol

Seven controls to build an evidence profile.

Each control addresses a risk observed in real data. Together they show where the record is strong, where its scope needs clarification, and which check will produce the most information.

G1
Species provenanceEach measurement carries a declared, verifiable species. Unreported origins are excluded, never imputed.On a reference human target, this control isolated 29.4% of measurements whose species could not be confirmed.
G2
Independence must be established, not assumedTwo distinct documents are not sufficient to establish measurement independence, particularly when they report an identical value.The preprint studies value recurrence and document provenance; it does not establish a single causal mechanism.
G3
Positive control declared for the target speciesThe reference control potency must be published for the species targeted by the claim, including its dispersion.Two standard sector controls are very weak inhibitors of the human enzyme.
G4
At least one non-colorimetric readoutWithout an orthogonal readout, “it inhibits” cannot be distinguished from “it colors the assay.”All commercial kits for the target we studied are colorimetric.
G5
Replicated ground truth—gradedStrict, quantified partial, or declared absent. Never all-or-nothing: requiring replication without grading it empties the record.In our own benchmark, 2.7% of molecules had a label confirmed by a second laboratory. This is the costly gate.
G6
Freeze before resultsThresholds, exclusion criteria, and abstention rules are written, timestamped, and hashed before the first result is seen.This control has already detected and removed an artificially favorable result.
G7
Relevance to the claimThe enzyme → cell → skin chain is made explicit, and missing links are named.A claim that skips a link is not necessarily false; it is indefensible when challenged.

An evidence record does not receive a single score; it receives a profile. An identified limitation does not invalidate the entire body of evidence. It clarifies the defensible scope of the claim and identifies the next useful action.

What we can undertake today

Services bounded by the actual level of evidence.

ORAKLIS works where a team must decide from heterogeneous data. Each offer states its maturity, inputs, outputs, and what it cannot establish.

Decision-Focused Experiment Design

For a protein pocket, kinase panel, or mechanistic record: compare hypotheses, select measurements that could change the decision, and abstain when the data are insufficient.

  • Readiness gate and provenance register
  • Comparison of panels, baselines, and disagreements
  • Falsifying experiment with the greatest decision value
  • No promise of affinity, efficacy, or clinical success

Declared boundary. The Pocket, Molecular Interrogator, and Adaptive Kinome programs remain research collaborations or prospective pilots. Their internal results are not presented as universal commercial validation. ORAKLIS offers a better-informed decision and a verifiable plan—not biological certainty.

A method tested against its own biases

Our controls first had to withstand our own results.

We turned every detected anomaly into a control rule or regression test. This transparency does not replace evidence for our method; it shows how the method became stronger.

Species resolution

A detected confusion becomes a permanent control.

Our tool had linked a canine enzyme to its human counterpart. The anomaly was detected, documented, and retained as a regression test for every subsequent analysis.

Rule precision

False positives are separated from useful signal.

An early rule confused the studied species with the expression host or culture medium. Correcting it reduced some rates sevenfold; we report the corrected estimates.

Selection

An unusually favorable result must survive the controls.

Performance above every reference came from selection leakage. It was discarded, and the corresponding control is now part of the protocol.

An explicit scope

No compliance certificationLegal responsibility remains with the responsible person and their regulatory adviser.
No legal adviceWe review the science, not the law.
No activity claimNo mechanism, efficacy, or skin-effect claim. That is not the purpose of this service.
No molecule proposed in this reviewThis service does not evaluate ORAKLIS internal research programs and does not turn a hypothesis into a candidate.
Partial review, declared in advanceOur measurement covers public data. Your internal data are reviewed only if you provide access; otherwise that limitation is stated in the deliverable.
Operational rule, not absolute truthIt reads assay descriptions. It misses what is phrased differently, and we say so.
