Column is building the network that medical research deserves. ColumnOS is its command center, tracking growth, pipeline, and community health from a single dashboard built for founders who refuse to fly blind.
ResearchGate has 25 million users and a UI from 2012. Academia.edu paywalls everything. Twitter rewards outrage over accuracy. The platforms that should connect the world's best medical minds are actively making research worse.
Every metric that matters when you're building a network where quality is the product.
Real-time engagement quality, not vanity metrics. Track depth of discussion, researcher retention, and cross-discipline connections forming organically.
Monitor researcher onboarding, invitation acceptance rates, and network density. See which institutions and specialties are driving adoption.
Measure the information health of the platform. Content accuracy scores, citation rates, and the ratio of signal to noise across every thread.
The researcher collaboration market is growing fast, driven by post-pandemic demand for rapid information sharing. But every existing platform optimizes for the wrong thing. Column optimizes for truth.
Column is where medical research moves at the speed of discovery, not the speed of algorithms. ColumnOS runs the operation behind it.
