Research & Development

Agents run research operations. Scientists own hypotheses and conclusions.

Autonomy0% / 74%

Phase: Phase 2 — Supervised execution

Connect scientific programs to resources, evidence and decision gates: retrieval, scheduling, data integrity, simulation and reproducibility are agent work; hypothesis selection, safety and scientific conclusions remain human.

Every workflow drawn as a line with its stations and live trains

Line map

Research & Development as a running network

Every workflow is a line. Every stage is a station. Every live piece of work is a train on that line. Diamonds are control gates. Filled squares run inside AI GBS. Click any line to walk it station by station.
