Independent research lab
Inspectable. Portable. Under user control.
Explore Failure builds open protocols, tools, and evaluations for researchers and builders who need AI work to survive model, provider, and tooling changes.
One-person research lab / Est. 2026
AI systems stop being trustworthy under real change. Evidence goes missing, authority drifts, knowledge moves, or a provider disappears.
Explore Failure develops open protocols, evaluations, and tools. So users can preserve control and useful capability through those failures.
One instrument now public. One failure event. Two active research paths.
Harness Workbench introduces controlled changes, preserves what happened, and tests whether the harness itself remained trustworthy.
Two kinds of continuity can break at once: a claim loses the evidence that makes it trustworthy, and the research environment loses the state needed to inspect or continue the work.
How can evidence, uncertainty, and provenance travel with the claim they support?
Workbench informsRun records and verification tests help define a proof package that preserves sources, reasoning boundaries, and unresolved support.
Research objective: the claim can travel without pretending its uncertainty disappeared.
What must travel for a research environment to remain runnable, inspectable, and extendable?
Workbench informsPortable specifications, attached source, run storage, and replay help identify what a downloadable environment must carry.
Research objective: the research can be reopened as working practice, not merely read as a report.
