Compare technical approaches
Every library on the shortlist is installed and run, so the report compares what the code does.
- Who it’s for
- AI coding tools whose users pick an open-source library on the strength of its README.
- Why it’s hard
- A README says what a library should do, and only running it shows what it does. The papers behind them are in the Corran Digital Library, under the organisation’s account.

- A PDF report with a recommendation
- The test scripts it ran, and their output
Code from strangers’ repositories runs on a sealed computer in the cloud, far from the engineer’s laptop.
How it runs, in your product’s code
The computer reads each project’s docs, then the papers they cite. Corran asks for a sign-in at the first paywalled paper, and the engineer signs in through their organisation. Then it clones each repository and runs the same test in each: two people edit one note offline, then sync. The report says what each library did with the conflict, and which to pick.
