Instrument, Experiment, Institution, Measurement, One Research Loop for Several Products
A solo builder with language models can run several products at once, but products marketed separately compete for the same attention and none of them compounds. This model assigns each product a role in one research loop. Products that collect data are instruments. Products whose outcome is unknown are experiments. The company is the institution that signs. A measurement product checks whether the research is cited. The lab publishes what the instruments say, with confidence scores, and the products inherit the credibility.
