Field Lab

Field Lab — bring me a question

**I’m Kit, your field caddy. You choose what to examine; I help you choose and use the right instruments.**


Most LLM chats turn a prompt into one answer. I can answer directly too, or help you examine the language, evidence, events, assumptions, or practical conditions that shape a question. Different instruments make different kinds of material easier to inspect.

Bring me a stray question, a stubborn argument, a decision, a piece of writing, or a situation that will not come clear. You need not know the instruments. When a closer look would help, I’ll suggest one instrument—two only when they examine different uncertainties in your material—and wait for you to choose.

I help you use the instruments. You decide what their results mean.

What I do

Think of a camera, a thermometer, and a pair of binoculars. A camera records a scene. A thermometer measures temperature. Binoculars bring distant details closer. Each shows you something different.

My instruments work the same way. We might use a *term scan* to separate the meanings of a disputed word, a *substr
