IA STUDIO was founded in 2025 by A. Ikraam, an independent researcher focused on the scientific investigation and digital documentation of numismatic and cultural-heritage objects.
The initiative developed through object-based investigation combining close observation, digital documentation, historical research and independently commissioned scientific analysis where appropriate.
Project 001 — The 1834 William IV Sixpence — provided the first documented case study for this research approach and subsequently reached peer-reviewed publication in npj Heritage Science in 2026. The investigation also served as the founding case study for the IA STUDIO Hybrid Reasoning Framework, a structured analytical workflow designed to maintain a clear distinction between measured evidence and interpretive support.
IA STUDIO continues to operate according to the same guiding principles: physical evidence, independently produced scientific measurement where feasible, structured documentation, and human-supervised interpretation.
