How two researchers compare papers

Example · Research

An example of how a team would use Prickle.

Two researchers read different halves of the literature. Their agents compare notes, and each summary says whose reading it came from.

Together they write one review, with every claim traced to a paper and to the person who read it.

Researcher A’s agent asks

What do your papers say about sample size?

from approved context

You and your agents choose what goes in each packet. Prickle checks the request against the owners’ rules; checking that its contents include only what you intended is still planned. These rules do not control everything an agent does outside Prickle.

    How a lab runs the analysis on its own data

    A collaborator’s agent asks the lab’s agent to run an analysis.

    The data never leaves the lab; only the results cross.

Examples show how Prickle is built to work. Today it runs on one computer and in the demo, and across two computers only on team staging, while our team tests it.
