Define the virtual experiment
A virtual experiment must test a defined research hypothesis with stated inputs, a versioned method, parameters and controls, then report results and uncertainty. Execution is limited to approved supported methods. A useful project names the disease model, proposed endpoint, missing information, and conditions before a computation starts.
The project record retains the question and its revisions alongside source records, versioned protocols and runs, reviewer decisions, and separately recorded outcomes. Researcher-provided data is a separately governed path, not a public upload box.
Connect evidence without changing its meaning
Public sources can provide study metadata, citations, pathway context, and curated interpretation. Each item needs its original source ID, date, limits, and permitted use. A successful lookup is a lead to examine, not a finding made by canXcer.
The workspace supports bounded public-source intake, evidence maps, comparability checks, explainable scoring over eligible governed results, and human review. Computational chemistry and scientific validation remain separate requirements; a software score does not establish biological or clinical validity.
From evidence to a reproducible run
canXcer begins with a project question, intended endpoint, and missing information. It brings source-linked leads into one research record while preserving the identity, rights, limitations, and overlap of each source. Those checks determine whether an experiment is computable and what assumptions it would require.
The run record preserves its inputs, method version, parameters, controls, outputs and uncertainty for qualified inspection. Supported adapters use pinned methods and independent approvals. A saved run specification or successful software check does not establish scientific validity or replace physical experiments.
The human decision remains central
Researchers decide whether the evidence is relevant, whether two records are comparable, and whether a physical-lab experiment is warranted. Unknowns and conflicting results must remain visible rather than being filled in by AI prose.
