# Verified Research Lab

> Independent testing for consequential research claims in computer systems and software.

Verified Research Lab reproduces reported results, replicates claims independently, and reviews methods, artifacts, and benchmarks. Each conclusion is limited to the claim, evidence, and conditions examined.

## Start here

- [Research services](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/): Choose a question about a result, method, artifact, benchmark, or public verification record.
- [Technical due diligence](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/technical-due-diligence/): Test a research-derived technical premise before investment, acquisition, procurement, funding, or adoption.
- [Fit check](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/contact/): Share the work and explain which decision or publication depends on it.

## Core pages

- [Verification method](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/methods/): The six-stage claim-to-evidence process and evidence labels.
- [Reports and evidence](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/reports/): Report anatomy, an illustrative bounded finding, and the public registry.
- [Governance](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/governance/): Sponsor separation, conflicts, factual review, evidence preservation, and correction policy.
- [About](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/about/): Current focus, technical scope, and boundaries.
- [Contact](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/contact/): A fit-check brief for a paper, artifact, benchmark, or claim.

## Fit-check brief

The contact form prepares a draft in the visitor's email application. It does not upload or store form data on the website. The visitor reviews and sends the email. Required fields are name, email, and the result, publication, or decision that needs examination.

## Services

- [Research reproduction and replication](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/#reproduction-and-replication): Reruns reported results from supplied materials or tests the same claim through an independent replication.
- [Claim and method review](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/#claim-and-method-review): Assesses whether the method, analysis, and evidence support the stated claim.
- [Artifact review](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/#artifact-review): Checks whether code, data, environments, and instructions can be retrieved and executed independently, then assesses versioning, preservation, and hosting readiness.
- [Benchmark audit](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/#benchmark-audit): Tests baselines, workloads, measurements, statistics, and claimed advantages.
- [Independent verification report](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/#independent-verification-report): Publishes a versioned record of what reproduced, what replicated, what failed, and what remains uncertain.
- [Technical due diligence](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/services/technical-due-diligence/): Tests research-derived technology before investment, acquisition, procurement, or adoption.

## Important qualifications

- A review may cover an entire paper, but each conclusion remains tied to the claims, methods, artifacts, and conditions examined.
- A failure to reproduce does not by itself prove the underlying proposition false.
- Sponsors may fund work but may not direct conclusions.
- The public report registry currently contains no completed reports.

## Optional

- [Expanded site guide](https://verifiedresearchlab.org/llms-full.txt): Detailed description of the method, services, evidence labels, and governance commitments.
