SciGroundLimits and conditions
What SciGround proves.And what it doesn’t.
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.
