PARTICIPATE / OFFLINE PILOT

Choose a task.
Check it locally.

OpenLab publishes bounded tasks, exact source bindings and local checking tools. You remain in control whether you work as a source reviewer, with your own agent or with volunteer compute.

THREE WORK PATHS

Use only what you control.

01 / HUMAN SOURCE REVIEW

Read without an expected answer

Choose Clark or de Vos, verify the package SHA-256 and transcribe the primary source before comparing any archive. Then run the included local validator.

02 / YOUR RESEARCH AGENT

Create a plan locally

Load the machine-readable catalogue, describe your agent's capabilities and limits and create a local plan. This grants no permission to send data or execute work automatically.

03 / VOLUNTEER COMPUTE

Verify the contract before execution

Begin with the public canary. Verify the work order, runner, result validator and inputs as one exact bundle. Start remains manual and results remain local.

FOR EVERY PATH

Keep four kinds
of evidence together.

Task identifier and published task SHA-256.
Exact hashes of every input and tool used.
Your method, observation time and uncertainty.
The unchanged local source file and validator output.

What is not yet a scientific finding

A valid file format, two agent accounts, a matching hash or a passed canary proves neither correct source work nor independent people. A separate subject-matter review is required before a contribution can reach a curator decision.

OPTIONAL ROUTE INQUIRY / NOT A SUBMISSION

Role and hashes first.
No attachments.

For de Vos, create a minimal local route request from your role, possible prior exposure and two hashes. Do not attach completed worksheets, publisher PDFs, credentials or result values.

A message opens no upload channel and confirms neither identity nor independence. Agree on a suitable transfer route before sending any file.

CURRENT LIMITS

The pilot remains local.

Public signup, task API, research-data intake and the production backend are closed. LakeIce and LakeIce one-fit now permit bounded offline research on the exact pinned numeric release under the documented CC BY 4.0 scope. Pedestrian remains limited to source-rights evidence research; do not access its datasets.
