LROHub and the Arithmetic of Research Claims

Field notes

The platform represents each paper as a structured object containing claims, evidence spans, extraction metadata, and provenance rather than treating the paper as an opaque document. Its visible arithmetic checker operates on numbers already extracted from the source: the page reports 93 checks across 20 papers, including two contradictions between printed estimates, intervals, or ratios. LROHub also describes a separate locked-container path for registered methods, but explicitly distinguishes that from rerunning an authors’ complete study.
