# A research repository that connects studies to the next decision

Evaluate PulseLake as a research repository with study memory, cross-study search and evidence-linked synthesis. Start with an approved collection and one question about what the team already knows.

## Relevant capabilities

- Study memory and cross-study search
- Deep research and a research knowledge graph
- Source-grounded synthesis with evidence types retained

## How to compare

- Can the team retrieve relevant prior evidence with its context?
- How will permissions and evidence types carry across studies?
- Who will maintain study definitions, ownership and review?

## Bring these inputs

- An approved sample of prior studies and findings
- Access rules, study owners and evidence definitions
- A cross-study question with known reference material

## A practical first workflow

- Select a small approved study collection and define its access boundaries.
- Test a real question against the prior evidence and inspect the cited sources.
- Review missing context and ownership before expanding the repository.

## Check before expanding

- Open cited studies and check whether they support the synthesis.
- Keep observed, synthetic and simulated evidence distinguishable.
- Test access boundaries and explicitly identify unanswered questions.

## Economics
Compare the agreed software and study scope, researcher review, recruitment or sample, participant incentives and delivery requirements. Confirm current charges and inclusions before paid work; creating an account does not make every service free.

## Switching considerations
Pilot a representative workflow and confirm data permissions, supported formats and required outputs before retiring existing tools. This page does not assert blanket feature parity or automatic migration from another product.
