Working principles

How the lab writes

Record the increment

Capture what changed, why it mattered, and what was learned before the context fades.

Keep production separate

Make the distinction between company delivery and exploratory learning explicit.

Integrate streams

Let related projects contribute their own progress while the repo keeps the narrative joined up.
