Product transparency
RSearch is actively developed. This page makes important current boundaries visible so researchers, faculty, and institutional reviewers can evaluate the platform without assuming capabilities that are not present.
Current staging review: September 24, 2026
Raw dataset rows are held in browser memory for the local analysis workflow. After a refresh or new app session, new computation can require reopening the source file. History retains qualified result evidence, not a cloud backup of the raw dataset.
Browser-local research state and preferences are not currently a cross-device synchronization service. Do not treat RSearch as the sole storage location for source datasets or research records.
Google sign-in currently supports identity-dependent Collaboration. Microsoft/Outlook institutional sign-in and broad institutional SSO are not yet implemented in the staging build.
RSearch can deliberately block a method, model, or configuration that has not completed the required qualification. Availability of a method name does not imply that every possible combination is appropriate.
Statistical execution occurs on the user's device. Very large or computationally intensive analyses depend on available browser memory, processor resources, and device capabilities. File import currently uses a 100 MB guardrail.
PWA caching supports application continuity, but installing RSearch does not automatically persist raw research rows or create a cloud backup. Some identity, collaboration, support, and optional AI features require network access.
AI-assisted Stats Assist is optional and separated from built-in support. Approved context may be sent only after the disclosure and consent step. Raw local research rows are excluded. AI guidance should still be reviewed by the researcher.
RSearch targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA, but a formal Accessibility Conformance Report has not yet been issued. Complex interactive surfaces, including SEM, remain part of the structured accessibility review.
Use the Send feedback control available in RSearch. Please report the workflow, what you expected, and what happened. Do not include raw participant data or confidential research records.
