We publish the process, not only the results.

We publish the process, not only the results.

The prompts, the decisions, the dead ends, the moments a human overrides the machine — all of it is the record. The process is the contribution.

Every output carries one name and one responsibility: a human author. The agents are credited as tools, in the open. Rigor is never traded for speed.

Every result is published with the code and the archived data that produced it, under an open licence, so that anyone can check it.

Shuji Yamamoto, PhD — Founder

Medical imaging researcher (PhD, Health Sciences, Osaka University). Three decades across medical imaging, radiomics, and AI-assisted analysis. Visiting researcher, National Cancer Center Japan · Lecturer in medical imaging & AI, Kochi University School of Medicine. RSNA Certificate of Merit; US and Japanese patents. Accountable for everything published here.

Institute of One, LISIT Co., Ltd., Tokyo 150-0044, Japan

METHOD

Research here is carried out by one human author working with AI language models as tools. The models draft, compute, and check; the author sets every hypothesis, verifies every result, and takes sole responsibility for what is published. Model use is disclosed in each manuscript, naming the model version, in line with ICMJE and COPE guidance. AI systems are not authors.

THE LIBRARY

Work is published openly as it happens — Research Notes (IORN), code, and process logs, with DOIs assigned to citable outputs. Everything produced here is a live record of what one person and a legion of agents can build, verify, and share.
