The product

Every result you have,in one graph

Backbond reads your papers, notebooks, spec sheets and run data and turns them into one connected causal graph: the ingredients, the properties they move, and which way each one pushes.

Then you ask that graph questions in plain language, and watch it reason through the answer instead of asserting one.

See the graph
Reads
Papers, lab notebooks, spec sheets, slide decks and run data, including scanned and table heavy documents.
Builds
One causal graph per project: components, the properties they move, direction, magnitude, confidence and the source behind every claim.
Answers
Questions in plain language, with the rebalance it performed, the evidence it weighed and its whole reasoning shown.

Every source you have read and understood

Point Backbond at your papers, notebooks, spec sheets and run data. Every file flies through the engine and comes out the other side as structure: the rules, formulations and results buried inside it.

Investigate your formulations

Everything Backbond reads becomes one connected knowledge graph: your ingredients, the properties they move, and which way each one pushes. Below is one real coating recipe after a compile. Click any node to open every relation it takes part in, each with its size, how confident the evidence is, the numbers behind it and the study it came from. Drag nodes to pull the graph apart, and read the mix itself in the composition panel.

Then ask a question in plain language. Backbond walks that graph for you and shows its whole reasoning, from the recipe it rebalanced and the evidence it weighed to the conclusion it reached. Scroll the answer to follow every step.
