Firecrawl added 41 million life-science papers to its Research Index, creating a domain-specific retrieval surface for agents.
New Runtime reading: Coverage size is only the first layer. Useful research depends on licensing, metadata quality, versioning, ranking, citation fidelity, and the ability to distinguish a paper from a claim derived from it.
Evidence boundary: this item uses the listed public sources and keeps vendor, author, or reporter claims attributed. The queued page is an editorial synthesis, not an independent validation of every reported metric.
