Knowledge Layer
In DevelopmentASA
Analytical Substance Assessment.
A structured substance knowledge archive — pharmacology, effects profiles, harm reduction context, and field data unified into a single queryable layer. Built for harm reduction practitioners and safety systems that need more than a search result.
What it contains
Substance intelligence. Evidence-graded.
ASA doesn't summarise Wikipedia. It's a structured data layer built from pharmacological literature, field data, and harm reduction practice — graded by confidence and updated by what's actually in circulation.
Substance profiles
Comprehensive pharmacological data, effects timeline, and harm profile across 150+ compounds — psychedelics, stimulants, depressants, empathogens, dissociatives, and novel substances.
Evidence grading
Every data point sourced and graded: anecdotal, observational, or clinical. You always know how confident the data is — and why.
Field-calibrated data
Profiles updated with real-world use patterns, not lab conditions alone. Dose ranges, routes, and onset windows reflect how substances are actually used in the field.
Practitioner outputs
Harm reduction context built in — not clinical abstraction. ASA is designed for the people who use it: peer workers, medics, and safety staff, not researchers writing papers.
Queryable by other systems
ASA powers Matrix and SIV. It's the knowledge layer the rest of the ViceLab intelligence stack queries — structured for cross-system use from day one.
Emerging substance alerts
Profile flags triggered by emerging field reports and drug checking data. When a new compound or adulterant shows up in circulation, ASA is updated before it becomes a statistic.
The intelligence layer harm reduction has been missing.
If you work in harm reduction, drug checking, or festival safety — and you're tired of referencing sources that weren't built for your environment — ASA is for you.
