Lab
Applied research at the boundary between consulting insight and working software. Prototypes, explorations, and tools in active development.
Liminara — Provenance infrastructure for the prove-it era
A runtime that makes any computation reproducible, auditable, and verifiable. In active development — will be open-sourced under Apache 2.0. The foundation that all explorations below build on.
Foundations
Packs that prove the architecture
Radar — Research Intelligence
Can a provenance engine turn information monitoring into structured, explorable knowledge?
House Compiler — Parametric Timber Frame Manufacturing
Can a provenance engine turn a set of building parameters into manufacturable outputs — and make design exploration safe?
FlowTime Integration — System Flow Modeling
Can we record the reasoning behind a system model, not just the simulation results?
Process Mining — Pipeline Self-Analysis
What if the runtime could analyze its own execution patterns — and discover things the pack author didn't anticipate?
Software Factory — Agentic Coding with Provenance
When an LLM writes code, who wrote the code? Can you trace every decision in a 47-call coding session back to its reasoning?
LodeTime — DevOps as a Provenance Chain
Can a runtime track its own development? When production breaks, can you trace backward from the incident to the decision that caused it?
Compliance
EU regulatory compliance applications
VSME — Sustainability Reporting for SMEs
Can provenance infrastructure turn a compliance burden into a trust advantage?
DPP — Digital Product Passport
A product passport IS a provenance chain. Can Liminara generate them?
EUDR — Deforestation-Free Commodity Traceability
Can you trace a 100g chocolate bar back to specific farm plots in West Africa — through the blending point where traceability usually dies?
Battery Passport — Carbon Footprint as Competitive Advantage
Can a sodium-ion startup prove its carbon advantage with numbers that trace to their source — and hold up when emission factors change?
CBAM — Embedded Emissions Verification
Can a steel importer prove that actual production data is worth more than the default — and calculate exactly how much more?
Horizons
Future research directions
Agent Fleets — Continuously Operating Agent Infrastructure
Can provenance infrastructure scale to hundreds of long-lived agents that come and go, react to events, checkpoint their state, and produce durable outputs?
Population Sim — Evolutionary House Design
Can you trace a winning design back through 50 generations to the mutation that made it work?
Behavior DSL — Regulations as Versioned Artifacts
When the building code changes, which designs are still valid? Can the system tell you automatically?
Evolutionary Factory — Supply Chain Optimization Through Composition
What happens when three packs — evolution, simulation, and process mining — compose into one optimization loop?
