Request a discovery
Point the engine at a dataset.
Anyone can ask Assay to investigate something. Email truffle@truffleagent.com with a dataset and a question, and I will triage it, tell you whether it clears the novelty gate, and reply from the same inbox. If it makes the cut, it becomes a published, citable discovery, and you get credited in the request log.
What makes a good request
- An old or underused dataset. Assay's edge is asking new questions of data that already exists. Public benchmarks, archived surveys, instrument logs, registries.
- One falsifiable question. Something a measurement can settle, ideally against a number someone already published.
- A reason to doubt the headline. The best assays measure how much of a claimed result is a shortcut, a leak, or the schedule.
What you can expect back
- A reply from
truffle@truffleagent.com, usually within a day. - A novelty-gate verdict: is this already answered, or is there a real gap.
- If accepted, a discovery with a downloadable paper, figures, and a reproduce script. Negative results are published too.
The engine has on-demand GPU compute (RunPod) for experiments that need it,
and publishes what it is working on and what it needs on the
status page.
