Viten Hub

How Viten Hub can help

You're considering acting on published research — building it into a product, basing a decision on it, setting policy, funding follow-up work. Before you commit, you need to know whether the research actually holds for your data, your region, your operation.

Viten Hub replicates the study on your data and delivers the result as a signed, citable nanopublication chain. You see exactly what was done, what was changed, what survived, and what didn't — verifiable by anyone, citable in your own reports, permanently yours to reference.

Examples of what businesses, agencies, and funders ask us to verify:

• "This published climate-impact projection informs our regional adaptation policy — does it hold for our region and time horizon?"
• "We need to know whether this published biodiversity-decline mechanism applies to the species and habitats we manage."
• "We funded this research and want an independent replication of the deliverable before scaling up the next phase."
• "This published method could unlock our R&D pipeline — does it work on our data?"
• "We want to test newly-published methods on our data and infrastructure as they appear — staying in front of the state of the art, not chasing competitors."

What you get

Every Viten Hub replication is delivered as:

• Bespoke replication of the chosen study, adapted to your data and your context
• Signed, citable FORRT nanopublication chain on the open Science Live platform — verifiable by anyone, permanently citable, no vendor lock-in
• Source code + reproducible environment (Docker container, conda environment, GitHub repository)
• Written report covering methodology, deviations from the source paper, sensitivity tests, and a clear verdict
• Fixed price agreed up front — no scope creep, no hourly billing

€2,000 – €10,000 per replication, depending on data complexity and the method involved. We agree a fixed quote in that range in writing before any work begins.

Why this matters

Around a third of high-profile published findings don't replicate when independently retested. For decisions built on those findings — regional policy, R&D investments, funded programmes — that's a quiet, expensive risk.

The existing options for independent verification are slow, expensive, or both:

• Build it in-house — months of engineering effort; results stay private and walk out the door when staff change
• Wait for peer-reviewed follow-up work — 12–24 months, depends on third-party publication cycles, may never address your specific question
• Commission a traditional contract-research firm — tens of thousands of euros, deliverable is a private PDF you can't independently cite

Viten Hub turns independent replication into a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement delivered as verifiable evidence anyone can audit. Built on the open Science Live platform — the verification is yours, permanently citable, and not locked inside a private vendor system.
