The Problems We Solve
For Research Teams

Modern research spans long timelines, changing teams, and exploratory work. Existing tools aren't designed for this reality, leading to lost context, poor visibility, repeated effort, and fragile continuity. Get in Touch

High Turnover

High Turnover

Academic labs and research-heavy companies have structural turnover.

Lack of visibility

Lack of visibility

Research managers guide multiple projects but can't see what's happening, how work relates, or where bottlenecks exist.

Research isn't task-based

Research isn't task-based

Traditional project tools assume linear, predictable work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lapis is built for research managers, principal investigators, and research leaders who oversee ongoing projects with frequent turnover. It's designed to preserve research context, decisions, and progress so work doesn't disappear when students, postdocs, or collaborators leave.

Traditional project management tools assume linear, task-based work. Research is exploratory, iterative, and non-linear. Lapis doesn't force tasks or rigid workflows — instead, it captures research intent, context, and activity over time so projects remain understandable months or years later.

Lapis treats the project — not the individual — as the durable unit. Documents, datasets, notes, decisions, and activity history live together in one place, creating a shared institutional memory that outlives personnel changes.

Yes. Lapis is designed to support multiple projects, collaborators, and evolving teams. Managers get a high-level view of ongoing work across projects without needing to micromanage individual researchers.

Researchers continue working the way they already do. Lapis captures progress and context around their work, giving managers ambient awareness of what's happening — without requiring constant status updates or meetings.

Yes. Lapis is built with security and privacy in mind. Your organization's workspace is private, access-controlled, and designed to safely store sensitive research documents and datasets.
