Academic data you can trust.
Cevian Labs builds products that understand academic data and rapidly verify its accuracy against the public record.
One engine behind every product.
Every Cevian Labs product runs on CVParsa, our engine for academic CVs. CVParsa understands each entry the way academics do, then verifies it against the public record.
Built by researchers who have studied academic careers since 2015, including 24 papers together on the science of science. About us

Verifying
CVParsa then checks every record it can against the public record, and notes where each one was confirmed.
Publications
- Checked against
- Crossref and other bibliographic databases
- Confirms
- Title, authors, venue, year, and DOI
Grants
- Checked against
- NSF, NIH, USASpending, UKRI, and the EU's CORDIS (including ERC)
- Confirms
- Award number, amount, dates, and the CV owner's role
Honors

- Confirms
- The honor, and the organization that confers it
Entries that can't be confirmed are kept as the CV states them, and marked unconfirmed.

A short walk through one faculty CV, and how CVParsa compares with a general-purpose chatbot.

Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude?Reading a CV is the part general-purpose chatbots already do well.
| Task | General-purpose chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude) | CVParsa |
|---|---|---|
| Read one CV and summarize it | Does this well | Does this well |
| Apply the same fields and vocabulary to every CV in a pool of hundreds | Output varies between runs | One schema, fixed academic vocabularies |
| Know that a fellowship title can be a postdoc, and that a CAREER award is both an honor and a grant | Inconsistently | Applied the same way to every CV |
| Count publications | Depends on how the question is asked | Publications counted by type; preprints and patents kept separate |
| Confirm each record against Crossref, NSF, NIH, and Cevian Labs databases | Not systematically, and prone to inventing citations it cannot find | Every record states which authority confirmed it, or that none did |
| Handle confidential applicant files | Consumer accounts raise data-governance questions | Encrypted, never used to train AI models, originals deleted within 30 days |
Four products, one engine.
Each product puts CVParsa to work on a different academic task.
All four run on the CVParsa engine.
