## Main content

Scientomics provides specialized forensic metascience interventions designed to identify, analyze, and mitigate the risks associated with compromised research. Our engagement models are structured to ensure absolute confidentiality, data integrity, and the delivery of defensible intelligence. Organizations and stakeholders may access the Scientomics investigative suite through two primary pathways: Bespoke Forensic Mandates+ For entities requiring a comprehensive, customized investigative framework, Scientomics offers direct consultation to establish a formal Scope of Investigation (SOI). This pathway is designed for institutions, legal counsel, and regulatory bodies managing complex allegations of large-scale manipulation or systemic fraud. To initiate the assessment phase: Submit a confidential summary of the suspected practices to our forensic intake team. Upon review, the firm will provide a detailed service quotation, including resource allocation, timeline, and fee structure. Scientomics team will draft a rigorous SOI document, outlining the specific statistical, digital, and linguistic methodologies to be deployed. Intake Correspondence: info@scientomics.com Whistleblower Protocol+ The protection of the scientific record frequently depends on the discretion and courage of those within the research ecosystem. Scientomics maintains a high-security Whistleblower Channel for stakeholders who require absolute anonymity while facilitating the identification of compromised research. This pathway is designed for the reporting of systemic fraud, paper mill activity, or coordinated manipulation without compromising the identity of the source. To ensure the safety of our contributors, this portal utilizes Browser-Level AES-256 Encryption. No IP Logging: The infrastructure is configured to purge all metadata, including IP addresses and geolocation data, at the point of entry. Zero-Knowledge Storage: Intelligence is encrypted locally on your device before transmission. Scientomics holds the decryption keys in an air-gapped environment; the server itself "knows" nothing. Submission Requirements To maintain the rigor of our forensic audits, disclosures must be defined using persistent global identifiers: FieldRequirementPurposeInvestigation TargetORCID (Individual) or ROR ID (Organization)Ensures technical precision in identifying the source of the epistemic risk.Primary BeneficiariesList of impacted Organizations/IndividualsIdentifies the stakeholders (e.g., funding bodies, university boards) for whom the final report will be of critical interest.Nature of DeceptionBrief technical summaryCategorizes the case for statistical or linguistic forensics.
