Lab Notes

Structured experiment management with append-only running logs, optional hypotheses, and formal verdicts. Two modes: Rigorous (full scientific method) and Freeform (exploratory, structure grows organically). Works for any hypothesis-first exploration — technical experiments, feature planning, product ideas, infrastructure changes.

Workflow: FRAME -> SETUP -> RUN -> ANALYZE -> VERDICT

Mode Selection

Ask at experiment start: "Is this a structured experiment or are you just trying something out?"
