™Independent validation
A separately accountable, active validator reviews an immutable version within an administrator-approved category and assignment.

Independent review / clear boundaries
Validation without blurred accountability.
canXcer separates qualified independent review from an author’s own attestation and from an administrator’s operational override. Each record says who reviewed what, under which category, and which exact version was in scope.
Three different records
Words matter when trust is the product.
Author self-attestation
Author self-attestation — not independently validated. The author states what they checked, with rationale and limitations, without claiming outside review.
Administrative override
Administrative override — independent validation has not occurred. A documented operational decision may permit a defined provisional step but cannot impersonate a validator.
Qualification before access
Not every nominee is a validator.
A personal relationship is not a qualification. A third-party nominee must provide professional affiliation, relevant experience, qualifications, requested category, relationship to the project, and conflict information. An administrator reviews that record before activation or assignment.
Validators acknowledge confidentiality and data-handling rules. Their authority is limited to approved categories such as scientific methods, technical reproducibility, source rights, privacy, result interpretation, or export audit manifests.
How independent validation works
An auditable chain, not a badge shortcut.
- Submit. The author requests review of an exact, immutable version.
- Qualify. canXcer confirms the validator’s recorded experience, affiliation, category, onboarding, and conflicts.
- Assign. The administrator grants least-privilege, time-bounded access.
- Review. The validator accepts or recuses, inspects only permitted material, and cannot edit the author’s work.
- Decide. The validator records rationale, limitations, evidence, conflicts, and conditions.
- Preserve. The decision remains append-only. Later conflicts, withdrawals, and superseding events are added without erasing history.
Research support, not medical advice.
A canXcer validation is limited to its recorded scope. It does not replace clinical judgment, physical laboratory confirmation, institutional review, peer review, regulatory evaluation, or professional medical advice. A validated method or package does not automatically validate every result produced from it.
Questions and answers
Validation, in plain language.
What is a canXcer validator?
A validator is a separately accountable person whose relevant experience, affiliation, qualifications, and permitted review categories have been recorded and approved by a canXcer administrator.
Can an author validate their own work?
An author may record a self-attestation where a workflow permits it, but it is labeled as author self-attestation and is never represented as independent validation.
Can I bring my own third-party validator?
You may nominate a third party, but their professional affiliation, relevant experience, qualifications, relationship, and conflicts must be disclosed. canXcer must approve and assign them before access begins.
Does validation prove a scientific conclusion?
No. Validation records a qualified reviewer’s decision about a defined scope and exact version. It is not medical advice, regulatory approval, clinical certification, peer review, or a guarantee that a conclusion is correct.
What happens after a revision?
A decision remains attached to the version reviewed. A material revision is a different review target and must be submitted for validation again.
Can a validator be deleted?
An administrator can revoke or ban future authority, but canXcer preserves prior assignments and decisions for accountability. Removing a ban leaves the person revoked until a separate qualification review and activation occurs.
Will third-party validation cost money?
Third-party professional services and controlled project access may require separate fees. Pricing will be disclosed and accepted before any charge; no placeholder checkout is active.
