# Limits and conditions

> What SciGround verification establishes, what it does not, and where each capability’s detailed limits are described.

SciGround makes strong, specific guarantees. This page states their boundaries in one place; each capability page links to its own detailed limits.

## What “verified” means

- **Specified properties under stated assumptions.** A verified result establishes that the data, calculation, and claim are connected to the same research target and satisfy defined checks under the stated assumptions.
- **Not scientific truth.** SciGround does not prove biological conclusions, the correctness of measurements, or the truth of a hypothesis.
- **Statistics remain statistics.** Statistical significance does not establish truth, and error rates describe procedures, not the probability that a particular claim is correct.
- **Your declarations stay declarations.** Independence, randomization, blinding, and how the study was conducted are recorded as your declarations. Answering a question or clicking confirm does not prove them.

## What SciGround checks

- **Results and Records it issues.** SciGround verifies the results and Records it issues. Manuscript findings are labeled rule-checked, AI-assessed, or not checkable. It does not check every answer your AI writes.
- **Supported workflows.** Analyses outside the supported workflows are refused, not approximated. See Supported analyses.
- **History that exists.** SciGround cannot create pre-registration after the fact, and it does not detect data registered again as a new study.

## Scope of the service

- **Life-science research data.** SciGround is designed for life-science research data that are not identifiable and not clinical. It is not for clinical use.
- **Through your AI.** SciGround is used through MCP and the API from supported AI environments. It is not a standalone statistics application.
- **Scale.** Workflows are validated on research-scale datasets; no large-scale performance guarantee is made.
- **Your responsibility.** Study conduct, ethics approval, interpretation, and the final manuscript remain the researchers’ responsibility.
