What is Consensus?

Consensus answers questions using evidence from more than 200 million peer-reviewed papers rather than the open web. Ask whether creatine improves strength or if a policy reduces crime, and it synthesises what studies actually found, showing the papers behind each claim and flagging where the science agrees or conflicts. Its Consensus Meter visualises the balance of yes, no and mixed findings for yes-or-no questions.

Every answer links to real papers with details like study type and journal, so you can go deeper instead of trusting a generated paragraph. Free use covers a set number of deep searches each month; the premium plan makes searches effectively unlimited and unlocks the strongest models. For students, clinicians and curious readers who want science rather than opinions, it is a distinctive and credible tool.
