Research lenses, not product categories.
Theme · 01
When knowledge disappears over time.
“How can we preserve this?”

When complexity makes something difficult to comprehend.
“How can we make this easier to understand?”

When work breaks because people or time create gaps.
“How can we help work continue without losing context?”
Threads · 03
Open notebooks.

If a fading-context problem belongs in research, or should become a product, tell us about it.
