The two-year ramp
A new postdoc spends their first two years rebuilding a model of the field. Somebody in the lab already had it. Usually the person they replaced.
The Map of Your Field, Built Together
A map of your field that is compiled from published papers, with each connection referencing its source and each change being reviewed before it is included.

The Problem
Everything in the lab is backed up except the part that took longest to build.
The most valuable knowledge in a lab often exists only in a few researchers’ heads.
Three people, the same 200 papers
Nobody in your group is hiding their reading. They just have no way to see anyone else's, so the overlap turns up by accident in a group meeting, a year late.
Handover is a folder and a phone call
You get the files, the passwords, and a wiki page written in the last week of a contract. The five years of judgment behind them has nowhere to go.
Witness the move from overloaded information to meaningful discovery.
The Solution
Ask a question — watch your field connect.
Axy maps your field at the concept level. Ask in plain language and watch the graph assemble — surfacing the bridges and gaps you would have missed.
I just started on Parkinson’s — what connections am I
missing?
Let me map the concept neighbourhood.
- Scan concept clusters
- Trace connections
- Surface bridges
The gut microbiome links to Parkinson’s via SCFAs → α-synuclein — a bridge across two clusters most newcomers miss.
