Start a source-linked biotech research trail
A practical first-session guide for independent biotech researchers: begin with one company or drug, verify identity, inspect the evidence and gaps, save the result, and return when the public record changes.
Search → verify → save → revisit
Analyze a company or asset
The fastest way in. Go to Analyze, type a company or drug name (ticker and indication are optional but help resolution), and choose a mode: Quick (cached first, fastest), Deep (fuller AI pass), or Refresh data (re-pulls sources instead of reusing a cached result). You'll get a source-linked dossier — clinical pipeline, regulatory evidence, competitive landscape, and financial context, each with its own verification badges.
Open ORIONInspect identity before reading conclusions
Confirm the canonical company, ticker, drug, indication, sponsor, and any aliases first. A correct identity is the foundation for every downstream source relationship.
Open ORIONOpen the evidence and the gaps
Follow important claims to their original records. Treat Missing, Unavailable, and conflicting evidence as part of the result, not as formatting defects.
Save and revisit completed research
Reports lets you return to a completed dossier and its evidence trail. Re-run only when you intentionally want a refreshed analysis rather than the saved point-in-time result.
Open ORIONShare a reviewable handoff
Use available report exports and source links to prepare a meeting, research note, or second-person review. Keep ORION's stated coverage and limitations attached to the handoff.

What's the difference between Quick, Deep, and Refresh data?
Quick serves a cached result when one exists, so it's the fastest option for a company ORION (or another user) has already analyzed recently. Deep runs a fuller AI pass over the same underlying sources. Refresh data skips the cache and re-pulls clinical, market, and regulatory sources — use it when you specifically want the latest data rather than whatever was cached.
Why does a field say "Missing" instead of showing a value?
ORION does not guess. If a field can't be tied to a verifiable, source-linked fact, it's shown as Missing rather than filled in with an inferred or estimated value. This is a deliberate design choice — see the badges next to each field (e.g. PRIMARY SOURCE, SECONDARY SOURCE, MISSING) for exactly what's verified and what isn't.
What should I do when identity resolution is incomplete?
Add a ticker, indication, NCT identifier, brand name, or known sponsor when available. If the relationship still cannot be verified, keep the partial result as unresolved rather than treating a broader company match as proof of an asset relationship.
When should I use Refresh data?
Use it when the age of a cached report no longer fits your research need or when you know a relevant public record has changed. A refresh requests new source retrieval; it does not guarantee that every external source is available.
