Lacunose is a research gap-finding engine powered by Claude Opus 4.7. Researchers waste months reading hundreds of papers just to find a handful of novel gaps worth pursuing. Lacunose queries 7 scientific databases in parallel, then runs a 7-stage agentic pipeline (~60 Claude calls: MAP → cluster → REDUCE → CRITIQUE → rank) to surface ~10 ranked, citation-grounded research gaps in 2–4 minutes. Each gap includes a research question, suggested study design, novelty/feasibility scores, and verbatim evidence quotes from real papers, output quality close to a half-written grant abstract.
