The Lab

Where we explore what's possible, before it becomes a solution.

We learn in the open. Each entry asks one question, tests it on real data (or clearly labelled test data when a product has no users yet), and says what it found, including when the simple approach wins.

Four rules for every entry.

  1. 01

    One question, real data.

    No invented numbers. When a product has no users yet, we test on made-up data and label it clearly. The code behind every figure can be re-run.

  2. 02

    A simple baseline first.

    Nothing counts as working until it beats the obvious guess.

  3. 03

    Limits, stated.

    Every entry says what it can't tell you.

  4. 04

    Negative results too.

    If an idea doesn't work, we publish that.

We publish an entry only when the work behind it is finished.

Have a problem we should explore?

Some of the best questions come from people who live with the problem.
