Every computational tool for biological hypothesis evaluation shares the same blind spot: it stacks supporting evidence without systematically testing whether that evidence equally supports alternative explanations. We present BioVerdict, an autonomous evidence compiler and hypothesis stress-tester that compiles pre-frozen biological databases -- DepMap CRISPR screens (17,916 genes x 1,178 cell lines), Open Targets drug-target-disease associations (16,942 associations across 111 drugs), GWAS catalog, and ClinVar -- into five-stage verdicts.

Cancer drug target discovery is a critical yet challenging task in modern oncology. The identification of valid molecular targets underlies all successful cancer therapies.
