Where things get built before they earn a name.
Labs has no customers and sells nothing. That is not a stage it is passing through, it is the definition. The moment something here finds a customer, it stops being Labs and becomes a branch.

Two of them are far enough along to be shown.
Neither is for sale and neither has a date. What they have is a list, so that when one of them opens, the people who said they wanted it hear about it first.

ParkedAn operating system for personal performance
Habits, health data, focus, the day laid out honestly. Built to roughly two thirds, then parked when Property became the branch with a revenue path. Parked is not cancelled, and it is not a promise either.

Your sleep dropped the three nights you skipped the thing you said mattered most. Separate trackers see the parts. Only the whole sees that sentence.

Browser-based, no native app. It tracks the level you really play at, including every match the federation never sees. It runs today. It is not open.

A list is not a sale. Labs still has no customers, and nothing here has a price.
A branch has its own customers and its own way of earning. Labs has neither, on purpose. The reason is simple: the moment research has to earn, it starts shipping. And the one rule the whole company is held to, that every result traces back to a source or is not shown, is exactly the rule that gets quietly dropped when something has to ship on a date.
So Labs is the place where work is allowed to be slow, and where it is allowed to be abandoned. Both of those are cheaper here than in a branch that has invoices attached to it. Leaving your name is how you tell us which of these would be worth the cost of moving out of Labs. It is not a pre-order, and there is nothing to pay.
Also on the bench, and not going anywhere.
The rating engine
In useThe rating that runs under VÆN Performance started here. It is the clearest example of what Labs is for: work that begins without a customer and moves into a branch once it has one.
Agent tooling
InternalThe runtime that keeps the company running: scheduling, research, monitoring, the knowledge base. It serves all three branches, so it belongs to the roof rather than to Labs as a product. It will not be sold.
