Company site for Vahtian — research citation integrity.

Vahtian checks whether each manuscript claim is supported by the evidence cited for it — through a blinded human → AI → adjudication workflow with a decision-gated, undoable write and a hash-chained audit trail.

Vahtian does not decide scientific truth. It records whether a cited source supports a specific claim: who rated it, what the AI advised, how disagreements were adjudicated, and what was finally written.

Human-first. AI-second. Auditable. Free local tools for researchers; infrastructure for journals, guideline groups, and research organizations.

[The Vahtian tool family: Start (CiteVahti — check your own manuscript), Prepare (StudyVahti, MethodVahti, DictVahti, MatchVahti-Lite — get the study right first) and Scale (ReviewVahti, ExtractVahti, GuidelineVahti, AtlasVahti — systematic-review infrastructure), all standing on one evidence record: human rates first, blinded AI second, adjudicated, hash-chained, provenance or flag. Records whether a cited source supports a specific claim — never scientific truth.]
