GUIDE: Lab Operating Spine

Organizes repos, data, notebooks, docs, and compute workflows. Standardizes how experiments and decisions are recorded.

What is GUIDE?

GUIDE is our proprietary way of aligning data, code, docs, and workflows. The connective tissue that makes complex tools legible.

Core Principles

  • Tool selection and integration
  • Structure for folders, repos, docs
  • Lightweight governance patterns
  • Computational and experimental workflow alignment

How It Works

GUIDE provides a standardized approach to organizing your lab's digital infrastructure. It helps teams make sense of complex systems by establishing clear patterns for how code, data, documentation, and workflows connect.

Rather than prescribing specific tools, GUIDE focuses on creating coherence across whatever tools your lab chooses. It's the operating system for your lab's digital backbone.
