Open formal research · applied with an evidence boundary

From machine-checked claims to decisions on working land.

Viridis publishes the mathematics, preserves the assumptions, and builds the operating layer that lets a partner test whether the research improves a real conservation decision.

Evidence boundary

Lean proves conditional mathematics; it does not establish empirical inputs, ecological effect sizes, registry eligibility, or commercial outcomes. Those require field data, domain review, and independent validation.

The research-to-field chain

One claim, one evidence trail, one accountable decision.

01Open research
Viridis Research

Claims that can be inspected

Lean proof objects, explicit assumptions, permanent DOI records, and exact public source. A passed proof means the conclusion follows from the stated hypotheses.

02Design-partner evaluation
ViridisOS

Evidence that can be reproduced

A decision layer that carries source, method version, uncertainty, and verification status alongside each output. It is currently offered for evaluated pilot use.

03Pilot platform
Viridis Conservation

Decisions on working land

Parcel, stewardship, monitoring, and report workflows that turn the research discipline into usable conservation operations.

Public research record

Inspect before you trust.

Every public surface has a distinct job: DOI records preserve releases, GitHub exposes executable source, the canon explorer makes scope and limitations legible, and ORCID anchors the human researcher.

Founding design-partner pilot

Bring one consequential land decision. We will make its reasoning reproducible.

For a land trust, restoration developer, or forestry adviser with one real parcel or project. The pilot is paid; scope, inputs, delivery date, and fee are agreed before work begins.

Apply for the founding pilot →
What you receive
  • ✓ A scoped decision report for one parcel or restoration project
  • ✓ Inputs, assumptions, uncertainty, and provenance kept visible
  • ✓ A reproducible method version and partner review session
  • ✓ A clear list of evidence still needed before operational use

Not included: registry accreditation, credit issuance, legal certification, or a claim that machine verification substitutes for ecological or professional review.
