Peer review is the backbone of science. We want to help make it better.
Refine produces state-of-the-art technical verification to complement human judgment and speed peer review. We're extending it to academic journals at deeply subsidized rates.
Rigor when it matters most
Submission volumes are climbing, while the supply of human energy for reviewing is not. Refine helps close the gap.
Augments referees, not replaces them
Refine is an obsessive technical reviewer. It handles exhaustive verification — from proof mistakes to inconsistencies in empirical data — so human expert judgment can focus where it uniquely matters.
Delivered helpfully
Our priority is usability for researchers. We iterate constantly with the world's most demanding customers to make sure AI serves your process rather than pushing you into workflows you don't have time for.
Deeply subsidized for journals
Peer review is voluntary and tedious, and the thorough technical checking every manuscript needs takes time referees don't always have. Refine handles that checking so referees can spend their time where it matters most. We offer it to journals at deeply subsidized rates in support of a process we all depend on.
Enterprise-grade privacy and compliance
Refine operates on a zero data retention basis: manuscripts are processed for analysis and not retained afterward. They are never used to train models, never shared with third parties, and never used for any purpose beyond the review itself. Our infrastructure is held to the standards expected by institutions handling the most sensitive research — including central banks.

How it works
Getting started takes minutes.
Your journal signs up
A journal official (e.g. an editor or journal manager) answers some basic questions about the journal and its review needs. We handle the rest.
You decide how and when Refine reviews are used
Choose when Refine reviews are generated and which participants in the review process can see them.
Reviews get stronger
Refine surfaces what matters — errors, inconsistencies, specification issues — so referees can focus their expertise where it counts.
Refine is used by researchers at leading universities — including Harvard, MIT, and Stanford — at central banks in the US, Europe, and the UK, and in the review process at several top-tier academic journals.
Join the waitlist
We're onboarding journals on a rolling basis, as fast as capacity permits, at deeply subsidized rates. If you're a referee interested in using Refine for your reviews, let us know — we're happy to work with your journal to set it up.
