How It Works

🔒 Your Work Stays Yours

We respect your research. Anything you submit through the Null Hypothesis Compass remains entirely yours — we do not claim ownership, copyright, publish without permission, or upload your work to public cloud platforms.

Our system only processes your submission to extract structured metadata that helps classify your study and recommend potential publication pathways. This metadata supports our mission to improve the visibility and value of rigorous, unpublished research.

We hope using the Compass will inspire you to further your null results towards publication, and get more visibility for your results.

Answer a series of questions about your study's methodology, design, findings, and context. Our questionnaire adapts based on your responses to gather the most relevant information about your research.

  • • Research type and field
  • • Study design and methodology
  • • Sample size and statistical power
  • • Nature of the negative or inconclusive findings
  • • Strengths and limitations of your study

AI Analysis & Classification

Our privately hosted AI system, based on Meta LLAMA3, analyzes your research using CBMRT's 4-tier classification framework to categorize your findings and recommend an optimized publication strategy.

  • • Methodological assessment

  • • Publication potential scoring
  • • Strategic positioning recommendations
Understanding Our Classification System

Our tiered classification framework categorizes negative research findings into four distinct classes, from "Definitive Evidence Benchmarks" (Class 1) to "Preliminary Efforts Requiring Reconstruction" (Class 4).
