How our system works.

Labs — the operating system for every Grafton venture, project and personal area. A ten-minute tour.

The idea

If it's not in Labs, it doesn't exist.

One system holds the state, the knowledge and the work for every venture and project — not scattered across inboxes, drives and heads, but in one place, queryable and shared.

The shape

Every venture is a workspace

Grafton Capital, Legalhelp, Streetwise, Techcard, WealthVector — and personal areas too — each is a workspace: its own space for knowledge, tasks and apps. One window onto all of them: the cockpit. What you can see is scoped to you.

Know

Knowledge

A living wiki per workspace — the durable memory.

Do

Work

Tasks that humans and agents pick up and move.

Run

Apps

The products and tools each venture runs.

How knowledge is organised

Three layers — read top-down

Canon — the universal rules, written once, true everywhere.
The top layer — every workspace has a mission (what it's for), a status (where it is) and an index (the map). Read those three and you know it.
Detail — everything else, one link away, read only when you need it.

How work flows

From idea to done

Capture

A task

Anything to be done becomes a task in its workspace.

Do

Human or agent

People and AI agents pick tasks up and work them.

Record

Propose

What's learned is proposed back into the wiki.

Approve

Review

A human approves it before it becomes truth.

The hands

Agents do the legwork

Standing AI agents run on a workstation around the clock. Daisy keeps every wiki coherent; briefing agents prepare your day; others draft, research and reconcile. They propose — humans approve. The system gets more capable without getting less trustworthy.

Where you meet it

Four surfaces, one system

The cockpit

The web app — Today, Tasks, Wiki, Review, Apps. Your main window.

The tasks app

Mobile — your work in your pocket.

Claude Code

A working session that drops into any workspace and gets things built.

Slack + briefings

The system reaches out — and you can reply straight back to it.

Why you can trust it

Discipline, not magic

Propose, then approve. Agents never silently rewrite the record — a human signs off.
Provenance on everything. Every claim knows where it came from and how sure it is.
One source of truth. The database is canon; documents and files are mirrors of it.

Your part

Getting started

Open the cockpit — you'll see the workspaces you have access to.
Start at a workspace's mission / status / index to get oriented.
Work from your tasks; capture what you learn back into the wiki.
When in doubt, ask — the system is built to be asked.

Build. Operate. Back.

Welcome to Labs.
