What is AI Hypothesis Evaluator?

Last updated: 2026-06-10·2 min read
The Hypothesis Evaluator scores any hypothesis on 4 academic criteria — testability, novelty, feasibility, clarity — on a 0–100 scale. Novelty is measured against 460M+ live papers, and weak criteria come with concrete fixes, not vague feedback.

When should you use the Hypothesis Evaluator?

Use it before showing your hypothesis to your advisor, submitting a proposal, or choosing between multiple candidates. You get an objective read on what's strong, what's weak, and exactly how to fix the weak parts.


What are the 4 evaluation criteria?

  • Testability — Can it be measured with concrete variables?
  • Novelty — Has it been studied already? Cross-referenced against 460M+ papers.
  • Feasibility — Can it actually be carried out within typical research constraints?
  • Clarity — Is the claim unambiguous and precise?

Each scores 0–100 with specific improvement directions for low scores.


How is Novelty measured objectively?

Your hypothesis is embedded and cross-referenced against 460M+ papers in real time. Similar prior work is identified and differentiated. Heavily-studied topics score low; gaps and unexplored angles score high — based on the actual literature, not opinion.


How is this different from the Hypothesis Generator?

The Hypothesis Generator starts from a research question and produces 3 candidates. The Evaluator scores a hypothesis you already have. Use them together for a fast generate → evaluate → refine loop.
