Sample layout — your matrix is built from the actual papers you select, plus themes, research gaps, and a reading order.

1 · Search

Type your topic. We query OpenAlex — the open index of 250M+ scholarly works — and show real papers with abstracts and citation counts.

2 · Select

Tick the 10–20 papers that belong in your review. Papers without abstracts are flagged so you know what the AI can and cannot read.

3 · Synthesize

One click builds the matrix. Every cell is grounded in the abstracts; anything uncertain is labeled for you to verify against the full text.
