The landscape
Where each tool fits
Great point solutions solve one part of research. AxisOne connects them into a single, coherent workflow.
External research operating system
AxisOne
The only platform that spans the full lifecycle — design, expert validation, grant funding, lab matching, execution, and publication — in one connected workflow.
R&D marketplace
Scientist.com
A procurement marketplace for outsourced research services. Strong for sourcing vendors — not for AI protocol design, funding, or publication support.
R&D marketplace
Science Exchange
A marketplace and management layer for outsourced R&D. Focused on vendor matching and order management rather than protocol authoring or the wider lifecycle.
R&D data cloud
Benchling
An electronic lab notebook and R&D data platform for managing experiments in-house. Built for data capture, not for evidence-grounded design, funding, or lab matching.
The positioning
Not another point solution — the operating system for external research
AI can draft a protocol. A marketplace can find a lab. A notebook can store the data. But research stalls in the handoffs between them. AxisOne removes those handoffs: the protocol you design is the one experts validate, the one funding is matched to, the one a vetted lab executes, and the one you publish — all in a single, connected system.
Why teams choose AxisOne
Built for the whole journey
Evidence-grounded AI design
Protocols drafted with AI and grounded in peer-reviewed evidence with validated citations — not free-form text.
Expert validation first
Vetted domain experts pressure-test feasibility, rigor, and compliance before a single experiment runs.
Funding, matched
Every protocol is matched to relevant grant opportunities, so science and its funding move together.
Vetted global network
Auto-match to a self-growing marketplace of vetted labs and CROs across 10 scientific domains.
End-to-end orchestration
Run execution — milestones, communication, deliverables — with full stakeholder visibility in one place.
Publication support
Turn completed, QA-reviewed research into publication-ready manuscripts with structured submission guidance.
Real infrastructure
Backed by a global research network
AxisOne is built by the team behind iProcess Global Research. AI designs the study — real, vetted infrastructure runs it.
Funding, built in
From protocol to funded in three steps
Most tools stop at the science. AxisOne connects your protocol to the funding that makes it possible.
Design your protocol
Draft an evidence-grounded protocol with AI and validate it with domain experts.
Match to funding
AxisOne surfaces relevant grant opportunities aligned to your protocol and domain.
Apply with a fundable package
Move forward with a validated, execution-ready protocol and a matched lab lined up.
