Polymathie

Studio · Lab · Think Tank

A studio, a lab, and a think tank,run as one.

We work an idea through until it is right, test it until it holds, and build it into something you can use. The same discipline runs through all three, so what we make rests on ideas that were actually tested.

Think Tank

The ideas and the standards, worked out until they say exactly what they mean.

Lab

Where the ideas are tested and prototyped, and kept only when they hold.

Studio

Where they become products you can use.

What we are building

Woodshed

Live

Carry an idea to a funded product: work out whether it has merit, then build it and run it on an honest record.

In progress

Making coordination priceable, legible, and verifiable.

The standards

Making grant and impact funding legible: the CROSS, WALKRI, and GRAIN standards for how funders decide.

Precision Council for AI

Live

A live council that pressure-tests a claim from several angles.

The modules

Published

TEMPER, LUCID, and HASP: open building blocks other tools can use.

Experiments

Rough by design: small builds where an idea gets tested before it becomes anything.
