01 / Mission

Research should leave behind more than a claim.

Our mission is to develop artificial intelligence through measurable, reproducible work. We focus on problems that matter in Lebanon and the wider Arabic-speaking region, then publish methods and technical outputs that others can inspect, test, and improve.

Evidence firstDefine the question, method, and evaluation criteria before making conclusions.
Reproducible by designBuild datasets, protocols, and software that can be independently tested.
Local relevanceStudy language, infrastructure, and adoption challenges often missed by global benchmarks.
02 / Research agenda

Programs entering implementation

Each program begins with a public protocol and is designed to produce concrete datasets, software, or reports.

01
Protocol design

Lebanese Arabic AI Benchmark

A reproducible benchmark for evaluating language models on Lebanese Arabic understanding, code-switching, safety, and locally grounded reasoning.

Planned outputs
  • Curated evaluation dataset
  • Baseline model report
  • Open evaluation toolkit
02
Method development

AI Tool Reliability Index

Independent, repeatable testing of AI tools used for research and software development, with an emphasis on accuracy, traceability, and failure modes.

Planned outputs
  • Public test protocol
  • Comparative research reports
  • Open scoring library
03
Study planning

SME AI Readiness Lab

Field research on the barriers, risks, and measurable benefits of responsible AI adoption among small and medium-sized organizations in Lebanon.

Planned outputs
  • Anonymized field dataset
  • AI readiness framework
  • Implementation playbook
03 / Team

A small technical team with a clear research mandate.

Tools Market is building its initial research programs through a focused team spanning operations and software engineering.
