AI² Associate Researchers
The expert network behind the Truth Engine
Named experts from across the industry contribute to the corpus, and every contribution carries the name of the person who made it. Applications are reviewed before approval.
Sharpen ours, or publish your own.
Two separate paths, and you can take either or both. One puts your judgement inside the research we produce. The other keeps your work whole, under your name, and puts it in front of the people looking for it.
Your judgement sits on top of the research the engine produces — the human layer that closes what the machine could not reach. You are strengthening a dossier that carries your name alongside the finding.
Attributed inside the dossier · Paid per retrieval · Opens at general availability
We host your research independently, whole and unedited, and offer it in the AI² Marketplace. It stays yours. We are the shelf, not the author. The marketplace opens fully at general availability.
Published under your name · You keep the IP outright · Available at GA
Your knowledge always counts.
There is no house line to follow and no format to write into. Bring your view, your reading of where something stands, your argument about where it is going. If it is fundamental and properly worked through, it qualifies — the standard is rigour, not consensus.
Our admins review everything before it enters, for quality. That is the only gate.
Blue Flame thinking
Where you believe this is heading, and the reasoning behind it. Timestamped and attributed.
Current-state analysis
What is actually happening in your part of the industry, read by someone in it.
Articles and published work
What you have already written. No rewrite, no reformatting.
Anything with value in it
If it is worth an executive’s attention, bring it and we will look.
We do not decide what your work is worth. Demand does.
Compensation follows relevance, and relevance is set by how often executives reach for your work — not by an editor, a committee or a rating we assign. The market rates it. We just count.

Research is a team effort.
Several experts, one use case
Your view of the infrastructure meets someone else’s view of the rights position.
Disagreement is recorded, not resolved away
A split industry is intelligence, and the corpus says so.
Your name travels with it
Visible to every executive who reads the finding, alongside the other experts on it.
Build it, and you read it.
An approved contributor reads at full depth — the same depth the top subscriber tiers get. Where a dossier is open to you, you get all of it, not the summary.
The full dossier
Every module, not the executive summary.
The sources
What each finding rests on, cited and reachable.
The open questions
What the research could not close, stated plainly.
A named seat
Your name on this page, and on the work.
Seven pillars, covered by people who have run them.
Engage with your peers.
A space for the people who build the corpus to publish in their own voice — and to argue. Opens after general availability.
Research notes
What you are seeing in the field, before it is a finding.
Commentary
Where you think the industry has it wrong, and why.
Open questions
Put a question to the bench and see who answers.
