SARAP AI
Suggests, structures, compares and flags. It never records a research decision on its own.
- Suggests structure
- Compares alternatives
- Flags inconsistencies
- Explains findings
How it works
From a screened source to an institutional research record
A SARAP project moves forward on recorded decisions. Each stage consumes the artefacts of the previous one, and each transition depends on conditions the platform can show — not on navigating to the next page.
The research problem
Fragmented workflows break the chain between source and record
Researchers routinely move between databases, reference managers, documents, general AI tools, methodology notes, citation tools, supervisor feedback and institutional reporting. Each holds a fragment, and the links between them are lost.
Today · fragmented
- Literature databases
- Reference managers
- Documents
- General AI tools
- Methodology notes
- Citation tools
- Supervisor feedback
- Institutional reporting
Each tool holds part of the research record. The connections between them exist only in the researcher's memory.

Stage by stage
What happens in each of the six stages
- 01
Discover
Literature discovery and source selection.
Search strategy, multilingual results, screening decisions and a recorded decision log for every included or excluded source.
- 02
Analyze
Evidence extraction, structuring and research-gap analysis.
Evidence records with field-level provenance, evidence strength, themes and research gaps traceable back to the evidence they came from.
- 03
Develop
Research problem, objectives, questions, hypotheses and methodology.
A traceable design chain from evidence and gaps through to design, sampling and analysis plan, with suggested, draft and verified states.
- 04
Write
Evidence-grounded manuscript development with claims and citations.
Outline, drafting and a claim registry where each claim carries its supporting evidence, citation state and verification state.
- 05
Review
Research integrity, citation integrity and methodological consistency.
Inspection of the manuscript against evidence, claims, research questions and design — with findings recorded, not silently corrected.
- 06
Complete
Supervisor-governed research completion and institutional record.
A completion gate derived from recorded states, a supervisor final decision, and a structured institutional research record.

Stages advance on recorded researcher and supervisor decisions — never automatically.
Human-in-the-loop governance
Three roles, kept deliberately distinct
SARAP assists. The researcher decides. The supervisor governs. The platform records which of the three acted, and when.
Decides
Researcher
Evaluates each suggestion, edits it, accepts or rejects it, and carries responsibility for the record.
- Evaluates suggestions
- Edits content
- Accepts or rejects
- Verifies records
Governs
Supervisor
Reviews academic quality at checkpoints and records the final decision on research completion.
- Reviews checkpoints
- Requests revision
- Records approval
- Governs completion
Build research on evidence.
Keep every decision traceable.
