Design a safer AI approval pathway for high-impact decisions.

AI & Agent Safety

Time
10 days
Team
3 fellows + 1 lab mentor
Output
A pathway with typed intents, limits, and a human checkpoint.

Tools allowedArchitecture diagrams, authorised sandbox, policy drafts. No live production access.

Ethical boundaryNo bypass of real controls. Study authority, not how to seize it.

M-1988

UNDER PRESSURE 48:00:00

Turn fragmented home-energy data into an action people can trust.

Energy & Infrastructure

Time
3 weeks
Team
4 fellows
Output
A trusted action loop with override and plain-language provenance.

Tools allowedSynthetic household data, tariff models, prototype UI.

Ethical boundaryNo real meter identifiers. Consent is the product.

M-1872

IN REVIEW

Reduce property-transaction friction without weakening verification.

Finance & Trust

Time
4 weeks
Team
3 fellows + partner counsel
Output
A redesigned path that keeps verification and drops theatre.

Tools allowedProcess maps, legal liaison, prototype forms.

Ethical boundaryDo not weaken identity or funds checks. Speed is not a licence.

M-1760

PROTOTYPED

Make public-service eligibility easier to understand without excluding edge cases.

Cities & Public Systems

Time
5 weeks
Team
5 fellows
Output
A redesigned explanation and an edge-case holding path.

Tools allowedPolicy text, shadow users, plain-language tests.

Ethical boundaryNo advice that helps anyone game eligibility. Clarity is the brief.

M-1654

DEPLOYED

Find the hidden cost inside a last-mile delivery network.

Operations & Supply Chains

Time
12 days
Team
3 fellows
Output
A cost map and two interventions that do not export harm.

Tools allowedNetwork data (anonymised), time-and-motion, carbon model.

Ethical boundaryWorker dignity is in scope. Cost-cutting that shifts harm is out of scope.

M-1540

ARCHIVED

Build a marketplace wedge from an underused industrial asset.

Business Model Breakthroughs

Time
3 weeks
Team
4 fellows
Output
A wedge, a trust stack, and a kill-criteria sheet.

Tools allowedField interviews, unit economics, prototype listing flow.

Ethical boundaryNo extraction from a commons without a return path.

LIVE 11:40:09

Detect where an organisation’s AI workflow could confuse content with authority.

2 lab fellows + 1 red-team mentor
Output
A trust-boundary atlas and a remediation sequence.

Tools allowedAuthorised workflow diagrams, tabletop exercises, policy.

Ethical boundaryLab conditions only. No testing on live customers or funds.
