Who it serves
Readers of the Research journal; organizations that need real answers.
The experience
Every organization has a researcher. Quick questions are answered inline; deep ones are commissioned to Synapse, AGA's shared research engine, which works for hours or days and reports back. What gets published passes a human review gate first — then it's yours to read in the Research journal.
Strongest evidence
A dedicated, auditable review ledger — a publish decision cannot be recorded outside the transaction that performs it.

What we measure
Reviewed-publication rate. Publications approved through the human review gate per month, with the approve/reject ledger public on request.
Definition approved 2026-08-27; not yet instrumented — no live counters in Phase 1
Boundaries — what AGA does not claim
- Synapse commissioning is a controlled pilot — agent-facing, no public research-request surface yet.
- Nothing reaches the journal without passing the human gate.
Inside this direction
- Synapse Controlled pilot
The shared research engine at the center — an engine, not a peer direction.
- Research programs Established
