A Chinese research-support service offers data cleaning, statistical analysis, publication-quality charts, technical reports, revision advice, and academic language editing.

Why it surfaced

Its invitation-only beta also lays out an unusually concrete workflow, from free human pre-review to quoted payment and checksum-verified delivery.
