Research partnerships
Our research model brings together enterprise, academia, and Xplore — each with a distinct role, so results are measured independently and trusted by all parties.
Model
How partnerships are structured
Each partner owns a distinct responsibility. Results require all three.
Enterprise
Defines what matters.
Real tasks, ground truth, success criteria, compliance constraints.
Academic partner
Defines how to measure.
Methodology, statistical rigour, publication, validation.
Xplore
Provides the platform.
Evaluation environments, scoring, SDK, and the public leaderboard.
