What problem does it solve? It turns falsifiable questions—such as whether one model can replace another—into structured, resumable experiments with traceable evidence instead of ad-hoc, unverifiable model comparisons. ## Core Features & Use Cases - ResearchSpec-driven experiments: Define question, hypotheses, baseline, candidates, dataset, metrics, and decision rules before any execution. - Recoverable runs: Create, execute, inspect, continue, and compare runs through research_ prefixed tools, with revision conflict handling across devices. - Evidence-bound conclusions: Every decision (SUPPORTED, REJECTED, INCONCLUSIVE, UNSUPPORTED, INVALID) must cite Evidence, Run, and Artifact digests. - Use Case: Evaluate whether Qwen 27B can replace Gemini Flash for novel state extraction by running both against a fixed test set with predefined quality, latency, and cost thresholds. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use research-lab to turn your model comparison question into a ResearchSpec, execute the experiment with the research tools, and report a decision backed by evidence digests.
