[ independent research studio ]
Fund a question. Not an answer.
The Lab is preparing controlled AI-behavior pilots, public-interest collaborations, and custom research briefs for teams that want evidence rather than a favorable headline.
Sponsored pilot
A clearly labeled exploratory study with a fixed protocol, reviewed findings, and public limitations.
Research brief
A focused synthesis of existing Lab observations and relevant published evidence.
Public-interest collaboration
A transparent study with researchers, journalists, educators, or nonprofit organizations.
[ non-negotiables ]
No sale of participant identities. No hidden sponsorship. No sponsor veto over unfavorable findings. Substantial commercial studies must budget for fair participant compensation and privacy review.
