🧠ResearchLoop is a new technical framework that addresses reproducibility and auditability challenges in AI-assisted research by implementing an evidence-gated control plane. The system treats research components—questions, contracts, evidence, claims, and papers—as durable state objects, enabling verification of research claims throughout the AI-assisted workflow. The framework was validated through nine experimental versions, including self-hosting and mathematical olympiad benchmarks.
