✦ Full provenance chain: question → finding → spec → system → market
The Apollo Pipeline

Four modes, one continuous provenance chain

Each mode feeds the next. Every step is logged. A production system traces all the way back to the original research question.

🔬
● Live

Discover

Research question → verified paper with full provenance, ready for Frontier Journal.

apollo discover
🔄
◯ Coming Q3 2026

Translate

Verified finding → implementation specification with feasibility assessment and IP analysis.

⚙️
◯ Roadmap

Implement

Technical spec → working code, tested pipelines, deployment-ready packages.

◯ Roadmap

Commercialize

Working system → market analysis, IP strategy, go-to-market plan.

apollo commercialize

Built for rigorous, reproducible research — and everything that comes after

ApolloBot maintains scientific rigor across all four modes. Every claim is sourced, every estimate has confidence intervals, every artifact links back to evidence.

📜

Continuous Provenance

Unbroken chain from research question to deployed system. Every decision logged across all modes.

🔌

20+ MCP Servers

PubMed, GEO, FRED, HuggingFace, Materials Project, patent databases, market data, and more.

🔄

One-Click Replication

Every Discover session produces a replication kit. Every Implement build includes a full test suite.

📊

Statistical Rigor

Anti-confirmation bias, automatic corrections, effect sizes with CIs, self-review, and statistical audit.

🛡️

Human Checkpoints

Mode transitions require human approval. Configurable: strict (every phase) or relaxed (mode boundaries).

🧩

Domain Packs

Pre-configured data sources, statistical frameworks, and output templates for each scientific domain.

Five domains, full pipeline

Each domain pack configures data sources, analysis frameworks, translation templates, and implementation toolchains.

Full provenance from question to production

Every ApolloBot session builds a continuous provenance chain. By the time a finding reaches commercialization, every claim traces back to evidence, every transformation is logged, and every decision is auditable.
