Consensus

Consensus is a specialized search engine built specifically for scientific literature. Instead of scanning the entire web, it searches exclusively within databases of peer reviewed academic papers and presents insights backed by citations to the studies themselves.

The tool is well suited for business owners in health, food, pharma, and technology who need scientific backing for marketing claims, as well as for researchers, graduate students, and professionals who need to check what the scientific literature says on a given topic.

Key capabilities include a Consensus Meter that visually shows how much scientific agreement exists around a given question, filtering results by study quality and sample size, and an automatic summary of each paper’s key findings without needing to read it in full.

In a research workflow, Consensus is used at the verification stage: once a hypothesis or claim takes shape, the tool helps check whether it is supported by real scientific research, adding a layer of credibility that is hard to achieve with general search engines.
