Data for digital research and infrastructure is scattered across dozens of platforms. PRSM connects the graph — publications, software, people, institutions, dependencies — and reveals what no single source can.
OpenAlex tracks research. GitHub tracks code. Ecosyste.ms tracks packages. And so on. No platform connects it all in a way you can use every day.
The software you rely on has its own dependencies, and behind each one, people doing essential work that never surfaces in your tools or your reports.
Impact isn’t a metric, it’s a lens. How do you tell your story when the key points change depending on who’s looking and what they need to see.
What’s built on top of your work — who’s using it, what for, and where. Across institutions, fields, and ecosystems, see who depends on your work, and who depends on them.
What your work stands on — the software, libraries, people, communities and research it depends on, including what’s hidden below the manifests, in compiled code and wrapper packages.
The people across your research and your software — authors, contributors, maintainers — what communities and organizations they come from, and whether they’ll be there tomorrow.
700+ data points, custom algorithms, and interactive visualizations — the complete picture of what you’ve built, who it reaches, why it matters, and the tools to tell your story a thousand ways.
Understand the full impact of what you’ve funded — trace dependency chains, see who’s using your outputs, and find where the gaps and risks are in the areas you care about.
Tell the complete story of your institution’s output. Discover every repository and collaboration your people have contributed to. Measure impact beyond citations.
Tell the stories of your ecosystem — citation reach, institutional adoption, dependency influence. Monitor health and sustainability across every project.
Explore the shared knowledge graph. Discover projects, people, and connections across digital research and infrastructure. Contribute attestations. Build and share analytical tools.

Explore →PRSM is a living knowledge graph that grows with every use. Each enrichment discovers connected entities, each new data source adds depth, and every user's seeds foster growth for everyone else.
Define your own scoring formulas out of PRSM’s 700+ data points to measure what matters to your organization. Share them with the community or keep them internal.
Upload internal data and analyze it against the public graph — without exposing what you uploaded.
Automatically find all software affiliated with your organization across platforms, and add it to PRSM for analysis.
Validate and annotate entities in the graph — confirming affiliations, flagging inaccuracies, attesting to quality, and adding context that only the people closest to the work can provide.
Patents, datasets, grants, clinical trials, and more. Each new entity type deepens the graph for everything already in it.
PRSM is built and maintained by one person. The platform works today, but opening it up will be slow and deliberate. If you want to help shape this infrastructure, or speed things up, let's talk.
If you want to test this thing, I've set up a waitlist and will let people on one at a time. Very. Slowly. You'll be able to add single entities, or up to 10,000 DOIs or GitHub URLs at a time, bringing them and their hundreds of thousands of related entities into the graph. You can then build portfolios out of any entities in the graph, and build and run queries across those portfolios.
