Preserve the source
Keep original research files distinguishable from derived data, extracted text, and downstream outputs.
We build research tools around the realities of scientific work: complex source material, computational constraints, evidence quality, and the need to reproduce and inspect results.
A useful workflow does not hide uncertainty or replace scientific judgement. It reduces repetitive work while keeping methods, decisions, and outputs inspectable.
Keep original research files distinguishable from derived data, extracted text, and downstream outputs.
Connect extracted values and scientific statements to their available source evidence and context.
Use structured inputs, documented settings, deterministic processing, and bounded computational tasks.
Use explicit review points for scope, scientific interpretation, exclusions, and decisions that require expertise.
From literature preparation and result extraction to simulation analysis and manuscript development, Aequo's product direction is to connect specialised tools without hiding their boundaries.
The exact software stack is selected for each project; these are examples from the current development and research toolkit.
