A pre-launch laboratory intelligence concept

A clean read on the biology you're changing.

Clair is an independent concept and prototype exploring how experimental design, lab workflows, analysis, and interpretation could share one traceable, scientist-led operating layer.

01The bottleneck

The judgment that makes an assay work rarely reaches the protocol.

That judgment is tacit, while execution and analysis are split across teams—losing signal at every seam.

02The concept

One experimental thread, from question to interpretation.

Clair is exploring infrastructure that could connect experimental design, lab workflows, analysis, and interpretation while keeping scientific judgment and provenance explicit.

Representative research contexts informing the concept include:

Low-input CUT&Tag / TIP-seqLow-input RNA-seq (Smart-seq3 / FLASH-seq)ATAC-seqMultiomeWGSDNA-seq+ methods with no kit
01
Experiment intent
objective + controls
02
Workflow design
methods + checkpoints
03
Execution context
instruments + samples
04
Analysis
planned comparisons
05
Interpretation
evidence + uncertainty

A model for a connected workflow—not a current sample-processing service.

03The design goal

Reduce handoffs without removing scientific judgment.

The prototype explores whether a shared operating layer can make omics workflows easier to coordinate, inspect, and learn from. Cost, speed, and quality targets remain to be tested.

Connected contextBounded automationExplicit provenanceInspectable decisions
04The intelligence layer

Well-documented experiments should make the system easier to inspect and improve.

The concept treats methods, QC decisions, and provenance as reusable structured evidence. How well that compounds is still under evaluation.

05The principle

Automate the repetition. Keep scientists responsible for the science.

The goal is bounded, inspectable support for expert work—not the removal of scientific judgment.

06Why now
01
Agents can help coordinate workflows
Current models can assist with planning and interpretation inside explicit bounds.
02
Experts can encode checkpoints
Tacit craft can become inspectable methods, controls, and QC gates.
03
Trust must be earned
Prototype evidence, auditability, and human approval are prerequisites—not assumptions.
07The mission
Explore a less fragmented way to do biology.

Clair asks whether shared experimental context can help scientists coordinate more of a workflow without obscuring judgment, uncertainty, or provenance.
