Public labs

Who is your lab for?

A public lab is the same machine as a private one. Only the intention changes: gather people around work done in the open, or sell access to a job done well.

For a communityAs a product
Two intentions
Two roads. Pick yours.

Same lab, same cutting, same tools underneath. What changes is who shows up, and what you ask of them.

Community
Work in the open.

The lab publishes as it goes. Anyone reads what it produces, live, without an account. Anyone joins the work with a free one.

Not a paywall: publishing needs an account anyway, and a free one is enough to join the work.
Product
Sell access to it.

The lab is the product. Sell a subscription or a one time run. Keep it on AskMojo, or serve it under your own brand and your own URL.

Same machinery
Underneath, the same cutting.

A lab splits a job into steps. Each step carries its own tools, its own context and its own knowledge. Most public labs are sets of independent tools; some chain their steps. Both are labs, on either road.

One job, three steps
01Watch the field
Its tools · the web, your sources
Its context · what changed this week
Its knowledge · what was already covered
Runon its own
02Write the brief
Its tools · documents
Its context · the reader, the tone
Its knowledge · past briefs, the format
Runon its own
03Publish
Its tools · the lab page
Its context · what goes out, when
Its knowledge · the publishing rules
Runon its own
Each step stands alone. Visitors see the outputs; members run what they need.
Both are labs. Order is a choice, not a requirement.
On each road
What public looks like.

Example labs, one per intention. Every public lab is built by its owner.
