Ship's log

How an experiment grows

Where it’s headed

  1. Napkin

    Sketch it

    An idea on paper, a problem worth chasing. Nothing built yet.

    We’re here
  2. Workbench

    Build it

    The crew is building. Not public yet, but the log is.

  3. Sea trial

    Test it for real

    Real people are using it. Expect rough edges, and tell us about them.

  4. Set sail

    Ship it

    It graduates into an Awesome Cause product, with support behind it.

  5. Scuttled

    Or stop it

    Any stage can end here, on purpose. The log says what we learned.

TODO What would move free-ish onto the workbench?

Bring us a problem

Got a stubborn one?

A process your team hates, a service people can’t find, an idea nobody’s had time for. If it’s in government or a nonprofit, we want to hear it.

Agency, nonprofit or team. “Just me” is fine.

Who has the problem, and what does it cost them? A few sentences is plenty.
