Record every researcher contribution across a multi-institution consortium on a private R&D ledger with attributed provenance. Cerulea Studio assembles it from the Provenance Notary, DID and VC Ledger, and On-chain Data Models so that inventorship rests on a neutral, tamper-proof trail rather than competing lab notebooks.
Turn a contested paper trail of lab notebooks into one neutral, attributed record of who invented what and when.
01.
Replace siloed notebooks. Every researcher writes each dataset, result, and design decision to one shared ledger, signed with their verified identity, so contribution history survives past the collaboration itself.
02.
Anchor each result at the moment it is produced. The Provenance Notary binds a contribution to its author, its timestamp, and its input data, making later back-dating or reassignment mathematically detectable.
03.
Support patent filings with cryptographic evidence. The trail reconstructs exactly who contributed the inventive step and when, giving counsel a neutral record to attach to an application.
04.
Tie every entry to a real person and institution. The DID and VC Ledger issues each researcher a verifiable credential, so no contribution is anonymous and none can be forged after the fact.
05.
Capture research as queryable objects. On-chain Data Models schematize experiments and outputs, so a dispute is resolved against structured fields rather than scanned PDFs.
06.
Settle ownership from evidence. When a commercial breakthrough triggers a claim, the consortium arbitrates against one signed history instead of two conflicting narratives.
Follow a single research contribution from the moment it is logged to the point it anchors a patent filing years later.

Cerulea decomposes collaborative R&D into modular contracts. Each layer enrolls, attributes, structures, and arbitrates contributions without any single institution controlling the record.
Attributed R&D provenance is a horizontal capability. Here is how different research actors put the neutral contribution ledger to work.
Enroll researchers across partner universities and anchor every joint contribution, so a commercial spin-out rests on a neutral inventorship record instead of competing lab notebooks and faculty memory.
Key Asset Types
Attribute wet-lab and computational results across sponsor and partner teams, giving patent counsel cryptographic proof of the inventive step for filings in tightly contested drug pipelines.
Key Asset Types
Track co-development with external partners against one signed ledger, so IP ownership on a breakthrough is settled from evidence before it becomes a costly legal dispute.
Key Asset Types
Whether you are bridging institutional lab-notebook systems or capturing signed contributions directly from researcher workstations, Cerulea routes both into one shared record.
For universities and labs on electronic lab notebook platforms. Existing contribution events are translated into signed on-chain provenance records through the API gateway automatically.

Shared Provenance Record
Building an attributed contribution ledger with verifiable credentials, provenance anchoring, and structured research models from scratch requires specialised engineers and long multi-institution integration cycles. Calculate your exact deployment speed using Cerulea.

The legacy timeline reflects multi-institution research infrastructure benchmarks. Reconciling each institution's lab-notebook system, building custom attribution and inventorship logic, and negotiating identity standards across partners for an average consortium takes a baseline of 8 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your attribution and provenance rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared consortium ledger and credential layer instantly.
