BioAtlas Compass

Begin with the scientific problem—not a model name.

Describe the modality, objective, available data, access requirements, deployment and evidence expectations. Compass returns a transparent candidate stack, typed handoffs, alternatives, missing evidence and the experiments needed before trusting the output.

Recommended stack

5 selected models

Recommendations use transparent domain, capability, input-contract, access, evidence, deployment and compute matches. Scores rank catalogue fit; they are not scientific validity or readiness scores.

Typed handoffs

Can the selected tools exchange usable outputs?

targetstructureadapter required

No direct type match; 1 explicit transformation is available.

Resolve the target hypothesis to a sequence identifier and canonical isoform.
structurechemistryincompatible

No documented direct handoff or adapter connects these model contracts.

chemistrycellincompatible

No documented direct handoff or adapter connects these model contracts.

celltranslationcompatible

Direct handoff available through Predicted or measured cell state, Multimodal evidence bundle.

Missing evidence

What must be resolved

  • A specific target or target class was not supplied.
  • A disease or therapeutic context was not supplied.
  • At least one selected model lacks a normalized benchmark claim in BioAtlas.
  • The generated stack contains at least one unresolved typed handoff or required-stage issue.
Validation plan

Experiments and checks

  1. Lock the exact model version, checkpoint, input preparation and inference settings.
  2. Evaluate on a project-relevant holdout set that is separated by time, scaffold, target family or biological context.
  3. Compare against a transparent baseline and record failure cases rather than reporting only aggregate performance.
  4. Confirm top candidates with orthogonal biochemical, biophysical and cellular assays; pose and affinity predictions are not substitutes for measurement.
