Who this page is for

Universities, grandes écoles, doctoral programmes, research institutes, laboratories, centres of excellence and individual researchers.

The documentary problem

Research produces documents faster than it produces the architecture that would keep them intelligible: protocols, datasets, versions, theses and reports accumulate without an explicit structure, and reproducibility suffers long before anyone notices.

What the platform brings

Documentary System Science gives research a named object of study and a teachable corpus. Doctoral programmes can build teaching on the founding works; laboratories and centres of excellence can reconstruct the architecture of their own documentary production and govern it deliberately.

Method A and Method B in this context

Method A — Documentary Reconstruction rebuilds the architecture of the corpus you already hold: structure, production rules, gaps and contradictions become explicit. Method B — Documentary Construction designs and governs a new documentary system from the ground up. Both run inside the platform workspace and are unlocked by an active edition.
