We harness artificial intelligence to identify both exceptional scholarship and methodological weaknesses, enabling researchers to build upon reliable evidence. We believe that scientific progress depends not only on detecting problematic research, but equally on elevating and amplifying exemplary work. By creating transparent, accessible tools for scientists to assess research quality, we empower the scientific community to accelerate discovery and foster theoretical development based on solid empirical foundations. In its first year of operations, the Robyn Dawes Institute for the Improvement of Science developed and launched Evidence.Guide, an AI-powered API that extracts structured data from scientific researchpapers. The tool converts PDFs into machine-readable JSON containing study hypotheses, sample sizes,test statistics, and p-values which is data essential for meta-analysis and research quality assessment. We validated the system against a benchmark of 297 peer-reviewed psychology papers containing 827statistical tests. The validation study demonstrated 92.4% functional accuracy in extracting statistical hypotheses and p-values, with 100% accuracy in identifying focal hypotheses - performance that meetsbor exceeds typical human inter-rater reliability. The Institute assembled an advisory board of leading reproducibility researchers including Uri Simonsohn (ESADE), Leif Nelson (UC Berkeley), Simine Vazire (Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science), and Stuart Buck (Good Science Project). We also filed a provisional patent for AI-enabled meta-analytic assessment and established a visiting scholar appointment at UC Berkeley to enable large-scale journal access in 2026. 0 37256 37256 Paul Litvak President/Director 25.00 0 0 0 Don Moore Treasurer/Director 10 0 0 0 Lily Jampol Vice President/Director 10 0 0 0 Ben Lowenstein Secretary/Director 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Paul Litvak 3015 San Pablo Ave Unit 502 Berkeley CA 94702 6034984487 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 81707 81707 0 0 0 0 81707 81707 8173 73534 81707 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Legal fees - Patent/IP $22,528.
