After any modifications for updating, code refinement, etc., the workflows are tested with publicly available and partner-produced data, tested for specific use-cases or general use, as appropriate, and internally peer-reviewed, validated against existing algorithms for optimization, reproducibility, and accuracy of results, documented for users with academic references, diagrammatic descriptions, and protocols for their use, deployed to the Form Bio platform with a Form Verified stamp, and published to the Form website in summary format.
