LAB / CURRENTLY EXPLORING
LAB
Work that is not a product. Each entry exists to answer one specific question about business software — and each is allowed to fail, which is the point of keeping them separate from the systems that people depend on.
- LAB_01PROTOTYPE
AI Operators
Voice-driven interfaces that understand the currently focused field and assist an operator without automatically committing a transaction. The interesting constraint is that an assistant in business software must never post on its own — it should prepare, explain and wait.
- LAB_02EXPLORING
Graph Systems
Graph-based relationships for permissions, recipes and operational dependencies. Questions like which dishes are affected if this ingredient runs out, or who can approve this document, are natural traversals and awkward joins.
- LAB_03ACTIVE
Offline Systems
Robust local-first architecture for business applications: durable queues, conflict rules that a non-technical operator can understand, and a sync state that is always visible rather than hidden behind a spinner.
- LAB_04EXPLORING
Search
Fast search over large operational datasets — customers, items, documents and history — where the answer has to appear in the same keystroke rhythm as typing, on hardware that is a decade old.
- LAB_05BUILDING
Workflow Engine
Node-based modelling of business processes so approval chains become configuration rather than a release. Documented in full as SYS_008.
