SMOS converts your research objective into goal coordinates, scores every paper in your corpus against them, and identifies the complementary papers that advance your trajectory — not just the similar ones.
TF-IDF + PCA 2D projection of your full corpus. Every paper is a node; KMeans clusters surface the conceptual territories. Gaps in the map are where research is missing — not just where you haven't looked.
GPS computes the A* path from your current corpus state toward the Master Claims. It surfaces the papers and claims that have the highest marginal contribution to your research goal — not just the highest signal scores.
Most labs discard negative results. SMOS preserves them as Negative iDOI stamps — anonymized by mechanism, immutably hash-chained, legally defensible. One certified failure can invalidate a competitor's patent claim.

We'll run a live demo on a corpus you bring — or on the Alzheimer's corpus if you'd like to see a deep example.
