Rapid Prototype
Turn an abstract idea into something people can see, use, and validate as quickly as possible.
YUJIAN LABS
Build the opportunity first. Then decide whether to continue.
Yujian Labs is where we explore new needs, products, and technology applications. We build a lightweight version first, then use real usage to decide whether the direction deserves more investment.Yujian Labs is where we explore new needs, products, and technology applications.

WHAT HAPPENS IN LABS
Not a miscellaneous project shelf— a space for validation.
Labs is for problems that are still being explored and validated. Once a project is mature enough to operate continuously, it moves into the formal product portfolio.
Real-User Validation
Use real usage and feedback to confirm whether the problem exists and whether the approach works.
Lightweight Products
Validate the direction with a smaller scope instead of building a complex system from day one.
New-Technology Experiments
Explore whether new AI, automation, or interaction patterns can solve a concrete problem.
LIFECYCLE
Every status describes a fact.
Status is not a quality score or a marketing label. It simply describes where the project actually is.
- 01
Exploring
Researching the problem and opportunity.
- 02
Prototype
A testable prototype exists.
- 03
Beta
Real users are starting to use it.
- 04
Product
Promoted into the formal product portfolio.
- 05
Archived
No longer receiving active investment, while key records are retained.
PUBLIC PROJECTS
When a project becomes public, it should answer four questions.
Not every Labs project needs a long case study, but public information should make the problem and current stage clear.
- 01What problem are we exploring?
- 02What stage is it in?
- 03Is there a version to try?
- 04What comes next?
PUBLIC EXPERIMENTS
Public experiments appear here once a direction reaches a stage worth validating. We show the problem, current status, and next step.Public experiments appear here once they reach a stage worth validating. We show the problem, status, and next step.
GRADUATION
Mature experiments become products.Mature experiments become products.
Once an experiment becomes a continuously operated product, the Products page becomes the primary destination while Labs can retain its exploration history.Once an experiment becomes a continuously operated product, the Products page becomes the primary destination while Labs can retain its exploration history.
