Methods research & audit

We map sources, stress-test pipelines, and mark what survives handoff.

Nine Names audits biomedical claims. The public page shows screened summaries; full review materials travel by request.

You can stop there. We ask before anything more is shared.

Choose the safest start

Pick the lane that matches why you came.

Every lane starts with public-safe information. No login, upload, or sensitive file is needed.

Scientific reviewer I want to inspect the method.

Open the full review path for sources, checks, failure modes, and status labels.

 Clinical or disease team I need to know if this is worth follow-up.

Send role, source link, and decision context. Keep patient files out.

 Family or advocate I only want to ask a safe question.

Start with a public source and one question. We do not ask for treatment details.

 Partner or diligence I need a controlled handoff.

Share organization, purpose, and confidentiality needs. We route before review.

30-second path

Send the frame, not the files.

If you have a source link and a decision that depends on it, that is enough to start.

  1. 01 Role

    Who you are in the review.

  2. 02 Claim

    What you want checked.

  3. 03 Source

    Paper, figure, dataset page, or link.

  4. 04 Decision

    What this could affect.

Fit check

Use Nine Names when a biomedical claim matters and the method might be fragile.

You do not need a private dataset to start. A source link and decision context are enough for first routing.

Send only the frame
Good fit

A paper, dataset, workflow, figure, or claim could affect funding, review, strategy, or care.

Do not send yet

Patient files, raw private data, credentials, or treatment questions stay out of first contact.

You stay in control

We scope the review first. Nothing becomes public from a first email.

After you send it

We route before review

We check scope first, then decide whether a public answer, reviewer handoff, or hold is appropriate.

  1. 01 Send only the frame

    Your role, the claim, source link, and what decision this affects.

  2. 02 We check scope and safety first.

    No patient files, credentials, prescriptions, emergencies, or private datasets.

  3. 03 We route to public answer, reviewer handoff, or hold.

    You decide whether anything more is shared.

What we do

Three named checks before language sharpens.

Each capability maps to a part of the audit trail reviewers can ask for.

Source Ledger

Map every public statement to a traceable source, status label, and missing-artifact note.

Break Tests

Challenge QC filters, normalization defaults, and donor-level support before a claim moves.

Verdict Line

Survives, caveat, and held labels come only after the audit trail is written.

Recent audit spotlight: ALS

We audited whether ALS signals survived donors, cohorts, and pipeline checks.

ALS is the current reviewed example, not the company category. The spotlight shows how Nine Names turns a biological claim into checks before language.

Donor-level audit 80 dataset-by-axis tests; 23 initial cell-level flags; 1 of those 23 survived donor-level correction.

Three rows were donor-significant overall; only one was an initial headline flag.

Cross-cohort tiering Five ALS-relevant cohorts across cortex, spinal cord, PBMC, and fibroblast data.

Signals are separated by source, assay, and replication posture.

QC / normalization stress Pipeline defaults were treated as audit targets, not background settings.

Filters, anchors, and pooled-cell certainty can all change the story.

Reviewer boundary Public summary first; source tables by qualified review.

No treatment advice or prescriptions; physicians and PIs decide.

  1. Send only the frame

    Your role, the claim, source link, and what decision this affects.

  3. We route before review

    We check scope first, then decide whether a public answer, reviewer handoff, or hold is appropriate.

After you send it
  • We check scope and safety first.
  • We route to public answer, reviewer handoff, or hold.
  • You decide whether anything more is shared.
  • If it is not a fit, we can say so without asking for files.
A first note can be this small:

If unsure, send only: Can you route this? [link]

  • My role is...
  • The claim I want reviewed is...
  • The source link or paper is...
  • The decision this affects is...

No patient files or private data in the first email.
