Hi — I built this. I have spent more than forty years in social science, teaching public policy. I ran the statistics for my own dissertation, and then for other people's studies, and the part that never got easier was not the arithmetic. It was the distance between the output window and the sentence that goes in the paper: which number belongs in the sentence, how it should be written, what it is allowed to claim. Every year I watched students copy an output table into a manuscript and get the sentence wrong — not because they misunderstood their data, but because nobody had ever shown them the shape of the sentence. So Statory is built the other way round. It starts from the question in your own words, it runs an engine — never a language model — for every number, and it hands you the table and the sentence, written the way a journal expects it. The one thing I want to be judged on is the publication policy. You should not have to take my word for the arithmetic, so we do not ask you to. Every analysis shows its evidence — a comparison table where we checked against external software, and the kind of evidence everywhere else — and the entire comparison is published on the site: not a pass rate, the table itself. That includes the lines where the two tools follow different conventions, and the lines we could not compare at all, each with the reason written next to it. A cell with no reason written in it is not counted as anything. If we ever quietly drop a row from that table, you will be able to tell. I would especially like to hear from people who teach statistics: tell me where the sentence Statory writes would not survive your review, and tell me which row of the comparison table you think we got wrong. And one question back to you, whatever you do: what is the test you run most often, and what do you do with the output afterwards? I want to know which step in your week we should be making shorter next.
