Results in one drive, protocols in another, the crucial observation buried in someone's inbox. When the examiner or the auditor asks who did what and when, a folder of Word documents is not an answer.
Ariadne Notebook is your R&D lab notebook: programmes, projects, experiments, and entries in one structured record. Write like a document while markdown stays the source of truth, flag the entries that matter for IP, and keep an append-only trail of every amendment.
Notebook follows your research from first hypothesis to preserved record: structure the work, write it up as it happens, and keep an audit trail you can stand behind.
Organise research as programmes, projects, experiments, and entries. One structured tree from portfolio level down to the individual observation, so nothing lives in a stray folder.
Every experiment is typed as in silico or wet lab, with hypothesis, protocol, and status from planned through complete, so computational and bench work sit side by side.
Write entries and protocols in a dual-mode editor: work like a document, switch to raw markdown when you want. Storage stays markdown: portable, diffable, and greppable.
Flag any entry as IP-relevant and describe the claim. Flagged entries keep their author and timestamp: contemporaneous records of who found what, and when.
Protocol saves keep every previous version, with one-click view and restore. Entry edits append an amendment record and never touch the original timestamp.
Invite external collaborators by email with viewer or contributor roles, scoped to a single project. They see that project, and nothing else in your organisation.
Attach Word, PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, images, or data files to any entry. Files live in a private bucket and open through short-lived signed URLs.
Export a clean, print-ready copy of any entry, or just one section of it, for reports, filings, and collaborators. Long entries get an automatic table of contents.
Row-level security scopes every programme to your organisation. Entries cannot be silently rewritten: amendments append, originals persist, and access is ring-fenced per project.
