Organized,
not collected.
Studies, datasets and observations held in one structured record, linked to the claims they support or undercut.
DSCO research initiative
Phenome
A framework for organizing evidence, documenting provenance and defining how claims are evaluated.
01Why it exists
Claims move faster
than evidence.
Health products are marketed on studies nobody can trace, summaries nobody can audit and claims nobody has graded. Phenome is our answer to that: not another set of claims, but the structure a claim has to pass through before we will stand behind it.
Organized,
Every claim
has a source.
Where a data point came from, how it was produced and what has changed since — documented, not implied.
Defined before
it is applied.
A stated method for how strength of evidence is judged, written down before any claim is graded against it.
Standards our
products inherit.
Phenome defines how DSCO products talk about evidence — what may be said, and what must be cited.
02Status
In development.
Phenome is early and deliberately unhurried. It is research infrastructure, not a clinical validation claim, and we will publish its methods before we publish its conclusions.

evidence?
If you work on evidence standards, provenance or research infrastructure, we would like to hear from you.
