About the Founder

IA STUDIO was founded in 2025 by A. Ikraam, an independent researcher working in the scientific and digital documentation of numismatic and cultural-heritage objects.

The initiative developed through object-based investigation combining close observation, digital documentation, interdisciplinary consultation, and independent laboratory analysis where appropriate.

Project 001 — The 1834 William IV Sixpence — provided the first documented case study through which this research approach was publicly established. The investigation later contributed to the development of 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, independent scientific verification where feasible, transparent documentation, and human-supervised interpretation.
