Identify
Capture and analyse software issues that may affect reproducibility.
Vectrion's first flagship technologyResearch software risk management
Make reproducibility risk visible and actionable.
ORYX helps research software teams identify reproducibility risks, understand their causes and effects, prioritise what matters, and develop mitigation actions.
It brings software evidence, risk reasoning, and mitigation planning together in one system.
A view inside the ORYX platformORYX workflow
From software issues to informed action.
ORYX helps teams turn software evidence into considered, actionable risk management.
Reason
Connect issues with their potential causes, effects, and associated risks.
Prioritise
Assess which risks require attention based on their potential impact.
Mitigate
Select appropriate mitigation strategies and turn them into actionable tasks.
How ORYX works
Connect the evidence behind a software problem.
ORYX combines a structured knowledge base with semantic matching and risk reasoning to help teams understand relationships between software issues, causes, effects, and mitigation strategies.
Software issue
A team identifies an issue affecting their research software.
Causes & effects
ORYX identifies relevant relationships from its knowledge base for the team to review.
Risk
The confirmed relationships are used to assess the associated reproducibility risk.
Mitigation
Relevant mitigation strategies are presented for the team to select and implement.
Action
Selected strategies become actionable work that can be tracked and reviewed.
Risk diagnosis, mitigation planning, and task tracking in ORYXInside ORYX
Evidence-based software risk management.
Purpose-built capabilities help teams move from issue descriptions to reviewed relationships and mitigation actions.
Knowledge Base
Structured causes, effects, patterns, and mitigation strategies derived from reproducibility research.
Semantic Intelligence
Matches user-described software issues with relevant knowledge to surface potentially related risks.
Risk Assessment
Provides a structured way to assess the risk associated with confirmed cause-and-effect relationships.
Mitigation Planning
Connects identified risks to relevant mitigation strategies and actionable work.
Human-in-the-loop
Teams review and confirm suggested relationships before they are used for risk assessment and planning.
Built from reproducibility research
Research translated into practical technology.
ORYX originated from research into Reproducibility Debt in scientific software and translates that research into a practical technology platform.
The underlying research identified:
ORYX turns this structured knowledge into a system that can support software teams in identifying, assessing, and managing reproducibility risks.
Make risk visible. Support discovery.
Software that supports scientific discovery should be understood, not just maintained.
ORYX helps teams make reproducibility risks visible before they become harder to manage.
