For years, the scientific community has been grappling with a "reproducibility crisis." But what if the problem runs deeper? What if, even before we try to reproduce a study, the study itself is built on a flawed foundation? This is the Validity Crisis, and it's costing us billions in wasted funding, countless hours of effort, and delayed medical breakthroughs. An estimated $28 billion is lost annually to irreproducible preclinical research, and nearly 76% of clinical trials require costly protocol amendments. The reason is simple: we've been focusing on peer review after the work is done, instead of ensuring design validity before it even begins. Standard statistical software will happily compute a mathematically correct but causally nonsensical model. It's like a typewriter—it does what you tell it, without questioning the logic. It's time for a "grammar checker" for scientific reasoning.
