GlyphScript
Compatible with Glyph native — no other tool speaks it yet
The first diagram language designed for research. Every element has a domain type — `study`, `cohort`, `arm`, `outcome`, `project`, `task`, `service`, `kpi`, … — and numbers PROPAGATE. Declare `cohort eligible { n: 1240, from: screened, excluded: { ineligible: 198, declined: 64 } }` and the validator checks that 198 + 64 + 1240 = screened.n. One model renders as many publication-ready views (CONSORT 2010 flow ships in V0; Sankey, summary-bars, Gantt, C4, funnel coming next). Designed for clinical trials, biology, ML eval, project management, engineering architecture, and business strategy from day one.
In the same space
Most users come to GlyphScript from Word CONSORT diagrams, PowerPoint-drawn PRISMA flows or Hand-counted study tables. Glyph runs this engine in the browser — no install, shareable via URL, exportable to PNG / SVG / PDF / source.

All 21 →Tiny CONSORT-style trial flow in GlyphScript. For full editing — property panel, AI co-pilot, pan/zoom — open it in the dedicated /lab studio.
Engineering-vertical GlyphScript example — C4 container view from `service`, `datastore`, `actor` types.
CONSORT 2010 flow with arithmetic validation built in. Typed GlyphScript for clinical trials. Keywords: CONSORT, randomised, randomized, trial, RCT, flow diagram, PRISMA, cohort.
PRISMA 2020 systematic-review flow. Typed GlyphScript for clinical trials. Keywords: CONSORT, randomised, randomized, trial, RCT, flow diagram, PRISMA, cohort.
Project-management vertical (renderer ships in v2.1 — for now this parses and validates, and the issues panel reports type info). Typed GlyphScript for project management. Keywords: Gantt, roadmap, milestone, sprint, timeline.
Engineering vertical — system / service / datastore / actor. Typed GlyphScript for software architecture. Keywords: C4, container, system context, architecture.
