User Workflow

The typical Pheno-Ranker workflow has four stages: prepare input data, run a comparison, inspect or visualize the outputs, and optionally use companion utilities. Start with your data format, choose the comparison mode, then follow the output to the analysis or utility page that matches your task.

01

Prepare data

Start from BFF, PXF, configured generic JSON/YAML, or tabular data converted with csv2pheno-ranker.

Compare records

Use utilities

Run companion CLI tools to simulate data, import CSV files, plot BFF/PXF summaries, or encode vectors as QR codes.

The utilities are optional and connect at different points: two prepare inputs, one profiles source records, and one reuses exported binary representations.
