The half-built things.
Labs is where the studio thinks out loud. Ventures we are standing up, tools we needed and so wrote, research that has not resolved, prototypes that may never ship. Everything here is dated, labelled, and honest about its state.
Nothing is polished for display. If a thing is live you can use it, if it is in progress you can watch it move, and if it is archived we have left the reasoning in place.

Show the working, not the win.

Small tools, kept sharp.
If it saves an hour a week it earns a URL and a maintainer.
