About Capsule

What Capsule is

Capsule is a Social Encyclopedia: a platform where any field of human knowledge can be written down, classified by its epistemic status, and revised in the open by the people who actually know the subject. Each capsule carries one of six confidence labels (Fact, Proven, Theory, Hypothesis, Contested, Debunked) applied with the most cautious reading the evidence supports.

The goal is structural honesty about how sure we are, not just what we believe. A medical fact and a speculative hypothesis look identical on most platforms; on Capsule they don’t.

How it works

Anyone can write a capsule. Verified experts, credentialed contributors in a domain, can review capsules in that domain, weighting reputation and challenging classifications. Evidence is submitted as structured records (supporting, refuting, or updating a claim) and adjudicated by experts.

Research groups let multiple contributors author together and split reputation proportionally by edit weight. Organizations, including universities, labs, and professional bodies, can be verified and publish under their institutional identity.

Who runs it

Capsule is operated by Solis Holdings Group Inc., incorporated under the laws of Canada. Solis Holdings Group publishes a small portfolio of long-form software products, of which Capsule is the flagship.
