AlpaTech Labs · R&D
We test ideas before they reach our products or your software.
AlpaTech Labs is our research and development department. Every project shows its status, and every note says what we tried, what works, what doesn't work yet and what we don't know.

Research areas
Four questions we're working on.
Each one comes from our products or from the software we build for clients.

Principles
Seven rules for how we run research.
- 01
We measure before we claim.
Every published figure comes with its method, sample size, devices and date.
- 02
Every estimate says so.
A guess is labeled as a guess, in our notes and in our products.
- 03
Test data is synthetic, or shared with consent.
We never use client data without written approval.
- 04
We publish what didn't work, too.
A stopped project stays visible, with the reason.
- 05
A prototype is not a product.
Every demo shows its status and its limits.
- 06
Research needs a use.
Every project is tied to a product or a client need.
- 07
No paid mentions.
Vendors don't pay to appear in our notes.
Status legend
Every project says where it stands.
Exploring
We're reading, sketching and asking questions.
Prototype
A working build exists. It hasn't been tested with users yet.
In testing
People are using it under test conditions.
Shipped
It's part of a product people can use. The note names the product.
Stopped
We ended it. The note says why.
In progress
No projects listed yet. Each one will show its area, its status and its last update.
Research notes
No notes published yet. Each one will follow the template at the top of this page.
From lab to product
No findings listed yet. Each entry will name the finding, where it shipped and the date.
