SciKeep — research tools for life scientists that tell you when your analysis is wrong

Most tools compute whatever you ask and stay quiet. SciKeep catches the errors that get papers retracted — pseudoreplication, unstable reference genes, p-values your design cannot support — and refuses to print a number it cannot stand behind. Everything runs in your browser; images and raw data never leave your device.
