Mathematics & formal analysis
Develop proofs and derivations, test their limits and check the reasoning.
A research laboratory of Metriq Foundation
Commissioned research · for technical teams
Independent research.
For complex questions.
Focused computational research for decisions that need more than a general answer. Define the question with PRISM, follow the investigation and review the evidence behind the findings.

01 / From question to research
The question comes first.
Tell us what you need to understand, what decision you’re making, what you’ve tried and what evidence is available.
We’ll propose the scope, milestones, research-credit budget and deliverables for your approval. Research starts after you accept the scope and the required agreements and funding are in place. You’re commissioning an investigation, not a predetermined conclusion.
02 / What the work can include
Methods, evidence
and a research record.
Models, simulation & optimization
Compare scenarios, quantify uncertainty and evaluate decisions under real-world constraints.
Data, algorithms & intelligent systems
Analyze data, develop algorithms and compare their performance with established methods.
Validation & reproducibility
Test research claims, reproduce benchmarks and document methods others can examine.
03 / An ongoing research relationship
Your research reserve.
Keep research credits available for your next approved project.
Your account tracks purchased credits, grant support and bonuses separately. Credits are set aside for agreed milestones and used according to your project terms. Each project is approved separately, subject to available research capacity.
Advance purchases may include bonus credits. Review the packages, eligibility and terms in your organization’s account before purchasing.

AI-assisted research.
Human-reviewed results.
For approved paid projects, research agents can review literature, analyze data, write code and help draft the manuscript.
Each agent works within the agreed scope, data permissions and budget. A PRISM reviewer independently checks its work before you receive it. Fully grant-funded research follows separate rules that limit agents to review assistance.
