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. Book a call
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
Traditional project tools assume linear, predictable work.
How it works

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Lapis built for?+
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.
How does Lapis differ from project management tools like Jira or Asana?+
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.
How does Lapis prevent knowledge loss when people leave?+
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.
Does Lapis work for larger labs or multiple projects?+
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.
How does Lapis give managers visibility without slowing researchers down?+
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.
Is our research data secure?+
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.
How does pricing work?+
Pricing is based on organization size and usage. We offer plans suitable for small labs as well as larger research organizations. If you're evaluating Lapis for your team, you can contact us to discuss the best option for your needs.
