Deterministic metascience for economics

Where the economics literature still looks structurally incomplete.

FrontierGraph turns the economics literature graph into ranked research opportunities. AI is used only to extract graph structure from text. The ranking itself is deterministic, inspectable, and designed for busy academics who want a credible shortlist fast.

Live graph snapshot

inflation -> human capital

inflation -> human capital has 225 mediators and 225 supporting motifs, while direct contact remains at 27 prior co-occurrences. In the current graph it looks like a cross-field gap.

What it does

Six ways into the graph

The public site is not just a landing page. It is a static discovery layer that lets researchers enter from field pages, discovery modes, methods, and downloads before they ever touch the app.

Why trust it

Legible before broad

AI stops at extraction

FrontierGraph uses AI to convert text into graph structure. The ranking itself is deterministic.

Evidence stays inspectable

Each idea can be unpacked into mediators, paths, supporting papers, and local graph context.

Built for real use

The goal is not a black-box answer. The goal is a structured first pass on where the field might be leaving room.
