Distribution should land.

The method isn't the bottleneck. The recipe is.

The winning binder recipe flips every twelve months. Labs that built for the last one are still rebuilding.

Runners should index. Distribution should land.

A new design method lands every quarter. Each one is better on some target class, worse on others. The team that wins is the one that picks the right route per campaign. Not the team with the best single method.

The rotation.

Default stack Available

Fast baseline routing for familiar target classes.

Backbone lane Available

Generates candidate shapes when the starting structure is under-specified.

Binder lane Available

Builds target-specific binders from campaign constraints and interface goals.

Scoring lane Available

Ranks sequences and structures against confidence and interface metrics.

Private lane Available

Runs proprietary or unpublished methods inside the same campaign envelope.

Review lane Partner

Keeps human overrides, QC notes, and audit trails attached to each route.

One campaign, the right rotation.

You bring the protein. We pick the route.

  1. 01

    Submit a target.

    Structure file, predicted structure, or sequence. Name the campaign goal.

  2. 02

    We route.

    Our allocator picks 2–4 runners from the rotation. You can override.

  3. 03

    Ranked sequences.

    Run in parallel, ranked against interface and confidence metrics, returned top-N.
