Triage every collaboration fast, then investigate the few that warrant a closer look — with a record you can defend either way. When counsel or a faculty member asks why a researcher was flagged, "the algorithm said so" isn't an answer a research security office can stand behind. SYSWERX is built on the opposite premise: every score is itemized, cited to a named authority, and dated.
Two ways in — resolve a single subject to a sourced risk picture, or reveal and explore the network around them. Both share one engine, so they never disagree.
The everyday tool: resolve any researcher to a clear, sourced risk picture in moments — so your team spends its hours on the cases that warrant them, with the evidence already assembled.
The deep-dive: map the relationships behind a subject — the collaborations, funders, and affiliations that never appear on a résumé — and turn a flag into an assessment.
One take from the live product, no edits: a screening resolves to a cited record in seconds — then an investigation unfolds in the Network Analyzer. One researcher becomes their co-author network in a click; follow a connection, import theirs too, and watch the flagged institutions cluster. Subject and co-authors anonymized; the institutions, citations, and scores are exactly what an analyst sees.
Screener and Network Analyzer run the identical scoring engine and the same signed, cited watchlist. Screen a researcher in either one and the score — and the evidence behind it — are the same, by construction. No conflicting numbers, no second opinion to reconcile.
Three properties that make a SYSWERX result something a research security office can put in front of an auditor, an agency sponsor, or its own general counsel.
Every score traces to a cited, dated authority — BIS Entity List, NDAA §1286, ASPI, and more. Not a black box, and not a number without a source.
Scoring runs server side in a secured vault — the logic and watchlist never ship to the browser. Only results are returned, and every screening is written to an audit log.
A signed watchlist feed tracks authority-list changes, verified monthly and signature-checked on load — never a stale snapshot.
Put SYSWERX on a profile of your choosing inside your environment — no install, no commitment. The clearest way to understand the platform is to watch it surface what others overlook.
