MVP

Everything has a scale.

One platform for scientific objects and more.
Comparable across dimensions, accessible for every audience.

Science communication is broken.

Fragmented

Scientific knowledge is scattered across Wikipedia, textbooks, YouTube, and papers. No unified structure. No comparability.

10⁶

Unintuitive Scales

The difference between a million and a trillion? Between a cell and a star? We read the numbers but cannot feel them.

Consumed, Not Structured

We consume facts in isolation. We never structurally integrate them. Knowledge without relation is trivia.

No Comparable Visuals

There are no standardized images with defined dimensions. Without consistent visual references, size comparisons remain abstract.

Two million hummingbirds weigh as much as one African elephant.

Same dimension. Same unit. Defined context.

Each object is defined through explicit metrics. Every comparison is bound to a defined dimension. Visual scale representations follow consistent metric rules. Different modes adapt comparison depth to cognitive levels.

Same knowledge.
Different worlds.

The right presentation and depth for every audience — based on the same database.

One card. Everything comparable.

Every scientific concept becomes a card with metrics, relations, explanations on three levels, and full provenance. Structure makes knowledge powerful.

We connect everything that can be connected.

What you can experience today.

Size Comparison

Visual scaling with real proportions — from bacteria to planets.

1V1 Comparison

Two objects, all shared metrics. Who is bigger, heavier, faster?

AI Explanations

Level-appropriate answers to your questions — powered by Claude AI.

Quartett Mode

Interactive guessing game for the youngest scientists.

Unit Freedom

Use any object as a unit of measurement. How many honeybees fit in an elephant?

Audio Narration

Every card read aloud — in German and English. Plus voice search by microphone.

Not just consuming — structuring.

Descienced goes beyond knowledge transfer. The platform promotes active engagement with scientific relationships and scales.

STEM-compatible

Cards map to science curricula from primary school to university. Teachers assign, students explore.

3 cognitive worlds

Marvel (Explorer) → Understand (Expander) → Analyze (Expert). One database, three perspectives.

Free for schools

Educational access is and will remain free. Knowledge has no paywall.

Active learning

Comparing, questioning, relating — Descienced turns passive consuming into structured thinking.

Structured Data

Every card follows a defined schema — Zod-validated, JSON-exportable, machine-readable.

Scientific Integrity

Confidence levels, source references, and provenance tracking for every metric.

Scalability

Designed to grow from 72 to 1,000+ cards. Wikidata and PubChem integration planned.

Open Data

CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Transparent methodology. Verifiable by anyone.

What we must solve.

Every ambitious project faces critical challenges. We address them openly — because transparency builds trust.

Visual Generation & Consistency

Every object needs a standardized, metrically calibrated image. High design standards demand a scalable creation process with consistent style and proportions.

The Sheer Volume of Objects

We want to cover as many objects as possible — each with verified metrics, sources, and relations. Automation and curation must go hand in hand.

Scientific Accuracy

Every metric must be verifiable and sourced. Confidence levels, provenance tracking, and peer review are essential — not optional.

Institutional Adoption

Universities, museums, and schools must see value in contributing and using the platform. This requires trust, openness, and real utility.

For the further development of the platform — especially UX design, architecture, AI integration, content production, and project management — sustainable funding is essential. We are exploring institutional partnerships, grant programs, and public funding.

Towards a structured scientific architecture.

Descienced aims to evolve into a precise, coherent, and visually unified platform for scientific scale and structure.

The next stage includes:

  • Formalized ontology
  • Extended multidimensional metrics
  • Defined visual standards: creation process, style guidelines, and metrically calibrated dimensions for consistent comparison imagery
  • Cross-category relations between objects, theories, and technologies
  • Scientific validation and refinement

Now

MVP with 70+ cards. Structured comparison logic. Visual scaling. Proof of concept.

Beta

Formalized ontology. 500–1,000 cards. Cross-category relations. Institutional validation.

Launch

Public platform. Partner contributions. Extended multidimensional metrics.

Vision

A precise, coherent, and visually unified platform for scientific scale and structure.

Interested in scientific collaboration?

We invite institutional partners to help develop the beta stage.

Descienced

Science, comparable.
