Who It’s For

Students, researchers, health professionals, policy makers, and anyone wanting evidence-based answers to scientific questions without reading dozens of papers.

Competitive Position

Consensus uniquely focuses on scientific consensus — showing what the research collectively says rather than cherry-picking individual papers. This makes it more accessible than Elicit (which targets professional researchers). The consensus meter is a distinctive feature no competitor offers. Lower barrier to entry than academic tools but less powerful for systematic research.
