Open Bench · Dossier Registry
Students leave with a published record, not a certificate.
Every Open Bench student finishes by publishing a dossier: a small, real piece of analysis built from public scientific databases, with its method and data attached. Each one gets a permanent identifier, a version history, and a named reviewer. Anyone can read it, check it, or cite it.

Versioned
corrected in the open, never silently edited
Reviewed
by a named physician before publication
A certificate proves attendance. This proves work.
Anyone can sit through a video. A dossier is a specific claim, built from named data at a named version, that a stranger can open and check. That is a different kind of object, and it is the only kind worth putting a student's name on.
It is permanent and it is citable
Each dossier has a fixed identifier and a version history. Correcting one does not erase what it said before. A student can put the identifier on an application five years later and it will still resolve.
It is reviewed by named adults
Nothing is published until a physician on the Review Board has read it. A dossier that has not yet been reviewed says so, in the open, on its own page.
It is openly licensed, so it compounds
Every dossier is CC BY 4.0. The next student can build on the last one instead of starting from nothing, which is how a field actually accumulates.
The record
One dossier so far. The first is the instructor’s own.
Ram did the capstone before asking anyone else to. OB-D-001 is the standard a submission is measured against, and it is deliberately reproducible in an afternoon on a Chromebook.
Want your name on one of these?
Finish the eight units and the capstone. Publication is optional and entirely your choice, and your guardian’s.
