Lab
Tools, templates, and applied experiments.
Practical resources for building AI systems — interactive calculators, architecture templates, evaluation frameworks, and reference guides.
What is the Lab
Artifacts too useful to stay buried in scratch files.
The Lab is for the practical in-between artifacts: the things that are too small to be full projects and too useful to stay private. Reference guides, interactive tools, downloadable templates, and experiments.
Item types
AI Production Readiness Checklist
A structured checklist covering observability, fallbacks, cost controls, latency budgets, and governance before shipping any AI feature.
Printable and shareable. Covers 40+ checkpoints across six production categories.
Open →Latency Budget Calculator
Plan end-to-end latency budgets across model inference, retrieval, orchestration, and human-review stages in agentic workflows.
Interactive widget for planning response time targets before system design.
Open →AI Architecture Pattern Cards
Reference cards for common AI system patterns: RAG, extraction pipelines, review loops, agent orchestration, and confidence routing.
Printable reference format. Covers 12 architectural patterns with tradeoffs.
Open →Prompt Evaluation Playground
A lightweight framework for evaluating prompt quality: consistency scoring, failure-case capture, and side-by-side comparison.
Designed for structured evals without a full testing infrastructure.
Coming soonAI System Design Canvas
A one-page canvas for scoping AI projects: problem framing, data inputs, model choices, integration points, and operational risks.
Structured template for aligning teams before building starts.
Coming soonAI Cost Estimator
Rough cost modeling for AI applications across token usage, inference calls, storage, and compute for common production patterns.
Order-of-magnitude estimates for planning and stakeholder conversations.
