Could you build this?

Partial The AI co-pilot, Crossref citation grounding, and Socratic thesis-defense flow are buildable with LLM APIs and the Crossref API. The human subject specialist review network and the research-ethics expertise behind it cannot be vibe-coded.

What it would actually take: Build a RAG pipeline over Crossref DOI metadata with citation verification, plus a tutoring-style LLM dialogue layer and a web app. The hard parts are a credentialed reviewer network and sound research-ethics guidance for human-subject studies, which require academic and IRB-literate domain experts. Accuracy and liability for reviews also need institutional oversight.
