Citrine’s Catalyst and Apex launch shows vertical AI’s test is scientist trust, not model proof
Citrine cites 550 models, 380 projects, and 70,000 suggestions each month, but the real product question is whether scientists act.
- Treat expert trust as a core product surface, not an onboarding task.
- Design AI workflows around the moment a recommendation becomes an action.
- Build learning loops that connect domain data, model suggestions, and real world validation.
