Fast Evidence for Better Policy

Pato Research wants to democratize rigorous evidence. We turn decades of peer-reviewed academic research into quick, trustworthy directional signals. We help decision-makers, journalists, and civil society cut through noise, slogans, and ideology by showing what the accumulated evidence actually says.

Is this policy worth considering in further detail?

Pato Research is a fast Evidence Barometer. Give us a policy or program and the outcome you care about. Our system scans relevant academic studies, extracts the key findings, and combines them into a simple directional signal. It quickly shows whether the weight of evidence leans positive, negative, or mixed.

This is not a full systematic review or formal meta-analysis. It is designed as a practical first filter to help you decide if an idea deserves deeper investigation.

Welcome to the Beta.

We are currently running an early-stage beta of the Evidence Barometer. We want to test how well automated evidence synthesis can deliver useful signals for policy exploration.

We would love your help.

Try the Evidence Barometer on policies you are curious about. Push its limits and tell us what works and what needs improvement. Your feedback will directly shape the next versions as we expand coverage, improve accuracy, and move toward near-instant evidence summaries for a wide range of questions.
