Data Sources - The Simple Platform (TSP)
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: March 12, 2026
• TSP assists content compilation1 using the data sources found below. Data searches or refreshes do not revise, overwrite or affect the user’s content compilation work (additions, deletions, comments, etc.).
• The only inputs shared with the search models are the Area of Research Interest prompt, the vertical name, the vertical summary, and your anonymous funding and geographic filters.
• Your notes, resource curation, and thinking within a vertical are visible only to you and your invited vertical members. TSP does not view your work or train models on your content.

Data sources
Rank ordering
TSP incorporates source ranking signals together, when using multiple sources, with vertical context and semantic signals.
Publications
Users, employing TSP, search Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar for relevant publications using the vertical name.
Patents
Users, employing TSP, search Google Patents for relevant patents using the vertical name.
Funding
LLMs search for funding opportunities using the vertical name, vertical summary and funding filters.
People
People may be identified through authorship and inventor signals, research outputs, and vertical participation. Future enhancements may introduce ORCID for identity persistence and group people for clarity, without ranking them.
Jobs
LLMs search for employment opportunities using the vertical name, vertical summary and geographical filters.
Organizations
LLMs search for relevant organizations using the vertical name, vertical summary and geographical filters.
Events
LLMs search for relevant events using the vertical name, vertical summary and geographical filters.
Tutorials
Tutorials are part of TSP’s future service roadmap and will come in two forms:
1. Platform-wide tutorials
Available to all TSP members and focused on general-interest topics.
2. Vertical-specific tutorials.
Available only to members within a given vertical. Vertical owners and editors will create these tutorials and retain full rights.
PDF uploads are supported today, and we are exploring additional formats. Ideas and feedback are welcome at tutorials@simple-platform.com.

1 We use our reasonable commercial efforts to keep content and underlying data current and derived from appropriate sources. However, TSP does not claim or guarantee comprehensiveness, authority or accuracy. All surfaced information is intended to support exploration and should be reviewed against original sources as part of your research workflow. In short, the user retains both editorial control and responsibility.
