Sense Factory
Sense Factory is where Boston Sense explores, experiments with and builds tools around problems we believe deserve deeper attention.
Some begin as research questions.
Some become experiments.
Some become useful tools.
They are united by the same question:
Does this actually make sense?
Technology understands instructions. But does it understand intent?
IntentDB explores ways to represent what people and systems are actually trying to accomplish, including purpose, context, constraints and how intent changes over time.
For intelligent systems, agents and applications where remembering why may matter as much as remembering what.
Explore IntentDB ↗A better way to interrogate research.
Scientific knowledge is rarely as simple as whether a paper is right or wrong.
Reclaim explores tools for examining evidence, claims, methodology, contradictions and what subsequent research tells us, helping people validate and build upon scientific knowledge rather than simply retrieve it.
Explore Reclaim →Red Team. Blue Team. Understand what your AI does when things stop going as expected.
RtBt explores adversarial intelligence tooling for AI and large language model systems.
Probe assumptions. Test failure paths. Challenge behavior. Examine how systems respond under competing objectives and unexpected inputs.
Because evaluating intelligence requires more than testing the happy path.
Explore RtBt →Start with problems worth understanding.
Problems.school explores a simple idea: we often rush toward solutions before understanding the problem well enough.
A place to articulate, examine, challenge and improve problems before deciding what should be built.
Explore Problems.school ↗The point of it
Consulting helps us work on today’s problems.
Sense Factory gives us space to investigate the problems that may matter tomorrow.
It is where research, experimentation, systems thinking and engineering meet, and where ideas can be tested before they become claims.
