Non-profit research consortium — free to read, forever
The world needs better answers to its hardest questions
We build peer-reviewed, openly licensed research on humanity’s most consequential problems. Researchers use AI as a thinking partner — to find gaps, synthesise literature, and sharpen arguments — then submit their work for human peer review. Everything we publish is free for the world to use.
Why this exists
Humanity’s biggest problems are chronically under-studied
Pandemic risk, AI safety, antibiotic resistance, climate adaptation, mass poverty — the issues that will shape the century receive a fraction of the rigorous analysis we devote to incremental research. The gap isn’t intellect. It’s coordination: good minds working in silos, without a shared map, a shared rubric, or a permanent home for their work.
The Consortium is that shared home — open, peer-reviewed, and built to outlast any single contributor.
Two ways to help
Pick the path that fits you
You don’t need a PhD or a big bank account — just the will to move something forward.
What we stand for
Principles we won’t bend on
Open by default
Every accepted document is published under a permissive license. No paywalls, no subscription, no gatekeeping.
Evidence over opinion
Every document follows a structured type — from literature review to policy brief — and clears peer review before publication. AI helps researchers think; it doesn't decide what's true.
Your keys, your data
AI is bring-your-own-key. Your API credentials never leave your browser. We can’t read them; we don’t want to.

Whichever path fits your life right now, the Consortium is built so your effort compounds — every document, every dollar, every critique stays in the open for the next person to build on.
