01 / SYSTEMS FROM THE LAB

Different problems.
Distinct systems.

Each starts with its own question.
Each has a distinct purpose.

01 / SYSTEMIN DEVELOPMENT
AEGIS original gold symbol
DARWIN

AEGIS

Reasoning over security evidence.

Darwin connects evidence, provenance and uncertainty. An advisory system designed to know when it cannot conclude.

VERDICT original gold symbol
A SECOND OPINION, WITH RECEIPTS

VERDICT

The second opinion for anything suspicious.

Fixed-rule suspicious-message assessment. See the signals, inspect the evidence and keep the receipt.

02 / SOFTWARE, IN VIEW

From an idea
to an interface.

Different tools, built around the work they need to do. Take a closer look.

KAVRYN / IN DEVELOPMENT

Less untangling.
More usable data.

Describe what you need. Start an extraction. Review the output in a focused Windows workspace.

RETRACE / IN DEVELOPMENT

The thing you copied.
The context around it.

A clipboard-history project with provenance at its core. Explore the direction and the working foundations.

Product concept rendering. Includes planned capabilities beyond the current implementation.
VERDICT / AVAILABLE

A second opinion.
A reason you can inspect.

Fixed rules, cited fragments and recorded receipts. Examine the actual examples.

03 / INSIDE THE LAB

Ideas are a start.
Building takes them further.

Lazy Raccoon Lab is an independent software lab. We explore ideas, prototype systems, and develop the ones that prove useful.

  1. 01 / ASK

    Research.

    Find a question worth pursuing. Examine what is known and what is still missing.

  2. 02 / MAKE

    Build.

    Turn a direction into something concrete enough to inspect and use.

  3. 03 / QUESTION

    Test.

    Challenge the assumptions. Learn where the system works and where it falls short.

  4. 04 / LEARN

    Discover.

    Take what holds up further. Let the findings shape the next question.

04 / RESEARCH IN PRACTICE

Make the answer
open to inspection.

In AEGIS and VERDICT, we are exploring how software can make the basis of a conclusion visible. Different problems call for different systems.

Explore research ↗
R / 01

What supports the answer?

Connect a conclusion to the information that shaped it.

R / 02

What are the limits?

Make uncertainty and the scope of a system understandable.

R / 03

What can we learn by building?

Use working prototypes to turn assumptions into testable questions.

RESEARCH DIRECTIONS, NOT PUBLISHED FINDINGS.
