How it works

Pick any paper. Move its method toward your problem.

Imagine every paper or source idea as a point in one vast space. You pick one, the AI lifts out its way of doing things — and then your intuition steps in and aims that method at the exact region where your problem lives. Human intuition chooses where to look; the engine carries the method there and tests, honestly, whether it lands.

In Explorer, Research, and Frontier, your directed projections count inside the promised 5, 10, or 25 cards. Any unused directed slots become scouted cards; each target beyond the included allowance adds one card for $25.

Human intuition × AI, in one picture

Your intuition aims it. The engine carries it.

Watch one projection run start to finish — and watch where you enter: the AI extracts the method from your source, then your intuition (the rose stream) rises in and points to exactly where in your problem space to aim it. We zoom into that chosen region, the method transfers across, and only then comes the honest check — and the widening if the circle was too tight.

Step by step

Five moves, no magic.

The same flow, broken out so it is clear even without the animation.

1

Pick a paper

Any paper, in any field. You inject the PDF — it becomes one chosen point in the space of all research.

2

AI extracts its method

The engine lifts out the paper's way of doing things — the reusable mechanism beneath its results.

3

Your intuition aims it

This is where you enter: you point the method at a small circle in your field — the region your intuition says matters.

4

Honest verdict

Real bridge, speculative, or no match — with the reason. We never force a fit that isn't there.

5

Widen the circle

If it did not fit, enlarge the field. The first eligible widening is free; later widening is $15.

When it doesn't fit

A "no" is not an empty hand.

The narrow circle is the riskiest, most precise bet you can make — and sometimes the method just doesn't live there. That is real, useful information, not a wasted run. And the next circle out is a small step, not a new purchase.

You haven't lost anything.

An honest "this doesn't fit your narrow space" saved you from chasing a false analogy — the most expensive mistake in research is the lead that looks right and isn't.

And you are not back at zero. You already paid for the projection into that field; the only thing left is to draw a slightly bigger circle. Your first eligible widening is free. Any later widening is $15 to re-run the search against the larger circle and check fit again.

Same investment, one step further out — where the transplant often starts to work.

Widening is not a second projection purchase. It re-scouts the wider field, re-translates the mechanism, re-audits the citations, and checks fit again. If it still does not fit, we say so plainly. Founding Beta also offers Depth 2 for $35, Depth 3 for $60, and three Depth-2 credits for $79.
