SC Labs
Where ideas become experiments.
Not every idea is ready to be a product. SC Labs is where we validate, prototype, and sometimes abandon ideas before they consume real resources. This is the work before the work.
How the Lab Works
Three rules. No exceptions.
Validate before investing
We test assumptions with minimal code before committing engineering resources. An experiment should answer one question clearly, then stop.
Abandon without guilt
A failed experiment is a successful learning. We kill ideas that don't prove out. The goal is evidence, not sunken-cost protection.
Graduate with evidence
An experiment graduates to a product only when it has proven the hypothesis — not when it feels promising. Evidence over intuition.
Active Experiments
What we're testing right now.
Four experiments across four different hypotheses. Each one has a clear question it's trying to answer.
LegalRAG
PrototypingApplying retrieval-augmented generation to U.S. personal injury case law. Can AI surface relevant precedents for case managers without replacing their judgment — or creating false confidence?
Testing with a curated dataset of PI case summaries. Evaluating relevance accuracy against attorney judgment on 50 test cases.
Atlas
BuildingInternal tooling for managing SC Web Studio's own client project pipeline, invoicing, and deliverable tracking. A dogfood product — we build it for ourselves first, then decide if it's worth productizing.
Currently tracking 4 active projects through Atlas. Replacing the spreadsheet one row at a time. Hypothesis: replacing the spreadsheet reduces missed deadlines.
Topo
ExploringA structured client onboarding system that captures project context, stakeholder information, and success criteria before any contract is signed. Replaces the discovery call document with something more systematic.
In exploration phase. Defining what structured onboarding actually needs to capture — and what it doesn't need to burden the client with.
Ledger
IncubatingSimple financial tracking for small Bolivian businesses that operate informally. Not accounting software — just enough structure to understand where money goes and whether the business is growing.
Early concept. Validating whether the problem is acute enough to build for. Conducting 15 informal interviews with small business owners in Cochabamba.
Graduated from the Lab
These experiments became products.
Not every experiment earns a product. These two did — because they answered their hypothesis with clear, positive evidence.

Case Assistant OS
Started as a single hypothesis: could a PI case manager's entire workflow fit in a local-first web app — no cloud, no subscription, no complexity? After 3 months of prototyping inside an active law firm, the answer was yes. It graduated to a product.

Project Home
Started as market research with one question: is Bolivia's rental market broken enough to warrant building a new platform? After 40 interviews with landlords and tenants across Cochabamba, the answer was unambiguous. Graduated to a product.

We document our experiments publicly.
Every significant finding, failure, and pivot is written up in Stories. If you want to see how a digital product studio actually thinks, that's where to look.
