SAM LAB

The Lab reports verdicts, not apologies.

Radar watches. Bake-offs test the field. Adoption records what earned a place.

SECTION A · HOW TOOLS MOVE

A decision earns its place.

  1. 01RADAR
  2. 02BAKE-OFF
  3. 03ADOPTED

We buy before we build, and we test before we buy — no tool gets silently vetoed and quietly reimplemented.

The pipeline records evidence, not rank. A candidate can stop at Radar or leave after a trial.

SECTION B · THE BENCH

Methods before claims.

Comparative trials publish the method, the field, the verdict, and the receipt.

BENCH CONTRACT

QUESTION / JOB TO BE DONE
What job is being compared?
METHOD
The test procedure and acceptance criteria are published before the verdict.
TEST ENVIRONMENT
Hardware, software, versions, constraints, and test conditions are recorded.
FIELD / CANDIDATES
Every candidate that actually entered the trial stays on the record.
RESULTS
Observed results are separated from interpretation.
VERDICT
A verdict requires a completed comparative trial.
REJECTED CANDIDATES / WHY
Reasons remain attached to the candidates that entered the field.
LIMITATIONS
What the trial did not establish stays visible.
RECEIPT / EVIDENCE
Evidence links or artifacts bind the verdict to the test.

SECTION C · ROADMAP

Bought and built stay distinct.

Bought work moves through Radar, Bake-off, and Adopted. Built work moves through Planned, Built, Hardening, and Shipped. These are different grammars, not a naked taxonomy.
