We work with ordinary hardware, open tools, careful records, AI agents that are allowed to be wrong, and a deliberate refusal to hand-wave. The project assumes that software can be wrong, measurements can be misleading, agents can hallucinate, documentation can drift, and our own assumptions can fail. So instead of hiding those failures, we try to expose them, measure them, preserve the evidence, and improve one small step at a time.
