Transparency, Citation & Legal

AI Transparency

IA STUDIO integrates computational and AI-assisted tools within a structured, human-supervised research workflow.

Computational tools are used for structured comparison, visualisation, organisational support, and drafting assistance under human supervision. They do not generate evidential findings, laboratory measurements, or autonomous classifications.

All analytical conclusions, classifications, and interpretations are determined through human evaluation of independently produced laboratory measurements, documentary evidence, and supporting analysis.

IA STUDIO does not claim peer-reviewed status for all material published on this site. Public materials are provided for research reference, transparency, and documentation unless otherwise stated.


Evidential Position

IA STUDIO distinguishes clearly between:

Measured laboratory evidence

Empirical data produced through independent scientific procedures.

Documentary evidence

Archival, historical, and comparative reference material.

Interpretive support

Computational tools, imaging methods, and comparative analysis used under human supervision.

Interpretation and classification

Final analytical conclusions reached through human evaluation of the combined evidential record.

Independently produced laboratory measurements remain the primary evidential constraint.


Research Archive

IA STUDIO maintains an internal research archive documenting materials generated during investigation and reporting.

The archive may include:

• dated notes and working drafts

• correspondence records

• imaging outputs and figure development materials

• laboratory documentation and analytical summaries

• version history and research records

Selected supporting materials may be released in future as part of IA STUDIO’s transparency and documentation programme.

The existence of internal archive material does not imply public availability of all underlying records.
