RigorMD produces an automated, severity-scored methodological and statistical assessment of a clinical research manuscript before journal submission. Two independent engines appraise the manuscript, a deterministic layer recomputes statistics where the reported numbers allow, and findings are grounded in your own text.

It flags. It does not certify. A report is guidance based on the submitted materials — it is not a guarantee of journal acceptance, a substitute for peer review, a certification of research validity, or medical advice. Decisions about your manuscript, and about patient care, remain yours.

Upload only manuscripts you have the right to share, de-identified as you would for journal submission. Every upload is screened for patient identifiers; that screening is advisory and recorded, and you attest to de-identification before payment — the attestation is a warranty you make to us, and uploads that breach it are your responsibility. Files that fail security screening or exceed resource caps are rejected and not processed. Do not probe other tenants' data or attempt to circumvent access controls. Use the service lawfully.

Reports are priced per report and paid at checkout through Stripe. Processing is fully automated and not instant: reports are delivered by email and in your dashboard when ready. Institutional licensing is arranged separately.

If we cannot process a paid submission — for example a file that fails security screening, or a package we cannot read — the report fee is refunded in full to your original payment method. Refunds for delivered reports are at our discretion.

You retain all rights to the manuscripts and materials you upload and to any work you create from a report. You grant RigorMD only a limited, non-exclusive license to process your files for the sole purpose of producing and delivering your report, and to retain them for the defined retention window described in Security & confidentiality. We do not claim ownership of your manuscript or your report, and we do not use your manuscripts to train models.

The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. RigorMD does not warrant that a report is complete, error-free, or that acting on it will result in journal acceptance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, RigorMD's total liability arising out of your use of the service is limited to the amount you paid for the report at issue. The precise legal entity and governing-law venue will be specified with the formal terms of service at general availability; these interim terms govern your use until then.
