Audit-oriented research infrastructure

A research workflow you can reconstruct.

Nexus Scholar Core is a local-first .NET foundation for protocols, evidence, human decisions, workflow execution, provenance, and verifiable review outputs. It is designed so a result never has to stand apart from the history that produced it.

The product promise

Keep the review workflow honest—even when automation helps.

Nexus is not another chat interface over PDFs. Its job is to preserve the evidence, authority, decisions, and invalidation rules beneath research work.

For researchers

Know what happened

Import local evidence, resolve duplicate candidates, inspect screening authority, and export records whose identity can be checked later.

For supervisors and labs

Inspect the decision trail

Trace a review from approved protocol through snapshots, human decisions, full-text evidence, reporting, and portable bundles.

For developers

Integrate without redefining authority

Use inward-facing domain contracts, explicit application boundaries, canonical records, and verification-first adapters.

One coherent local stack

From protocol intent to independently checkable output

Protocol
approved conduct and authority
Workflow
compiled DAG and execution journal
Evidence
imports, snapshots, full text
Decisions
identified humans and conflicts
Output
reports and verifiable bundles
Authority boundary Automation, plugins, and model output may eventually propose or transform. They do not approve protocols or finalize scientific decisions.

The public narrative and developer reference are intentionally separate. Product pages explain why the system exists; module guides explain exactly where the authority and dependency boundaries live.
