Your work
stays yours

Our role is to advise and challenge. The student remains the researcher, owns the work, and stands behind every decision.

Clear boundaries from the beginning

Serious mentorship should make a student more capable and more independent, not less. These commitments are part of every engagement.

Ownership

The student retains their original ideas, data, code, designs, manuscripts, inventions, and other work. Vantor takes no equity, royalties, or license to use it.

Authorship

We do not claim authorship or publication rights. A student should be able to explain and defend every part of the work carrying their name.

Confidentiality

The obligation runs one way. We do not publish, submit, share, commercialize, or name student work without express written permission. We never ask a student to keep our involvement private: disclose it to your sponsor, your teachers, your fair, and on every form.

Research integrity

We advise, question, teach, review, and rehearse. We do not fabricate data, write a student's work for them, or misrepresent who did the research.

Yours.

  • Ideas
  • Data
  • Code
  • Manuscripts
  • Inventions
  • Rights

Ours.

  • Questions
  • Teaching
  • Review
  • Mock judging

Nothing crosses back: equity, royalties, authorship. All of it stays with the student.

In practice

Hands-on. Not hands-off

What we do

We get in the trenches: challenge the question, teach the tool until it clicks, debug beside the student, pressure-test every claim, prepare submissions, and run unscripted mock judging. This is an advantage, not a suggestion box.

What we do not do

Replace the student's thinking, invent results, conceal outside help, or submit work the student cannot independently explain.

Other agreements still matter

A school, laboratory, sponsor, collaborator, publisher, or competition may create separate rights and obligations. Those agreements remain controlling, and we expect families to disclose and follow them.
