# SC LABS

> SC LABS builds practical local-first AI products with explicit human control and evidence-led development.

## Product areas

- [ARKTOR](https://sclabs.uk/arktor/) — Flagship operational AI family for controlled work with real computers and devices.
- [Start an ARKTOR Pilot](https://sclabs.uk/pilot/) — Scope one real workflow, explicit permissions and success evidence before execution.
- [Radar Tools](https://sclabs.uk/products/#radar-tools) — Focused products for hardware, models, security, privacy, activity, competitors and customer context.
- [Nova / AI-LPA](https://sclabs.uk/products/#nova-research) — Separate local AI personal-assistant research track.

## ARKTOR family

- [ARKTOR Go](https://sclabs.uk/products/arktor-go/) — Portable Windows path for a PC that still starts.
- [ARKTOR Rescue](https://sclabs.uk/products/arktor-rescue/) — Bootable recovery path; physical V0.1 diagnosis and read-only profile rescue accepted, including a 6,871-entry / ~1.1 GB hash-verified rescue artifact on the tested PC.
- [ARKTOR Android](https://sclabs.uk/products/arktor-android/) — Android workbench for persistent chat, vision and controlled device capabilities. Individual devices are test hardware, not the product brand.
- [ARKTOR Vault](https://sclabs.uk/products/arktor-vault/) — Durable local AI memory across chats, models and restarts.

## Current ARKTOR evidence

- Core 0.1.1 retains a 24/24 Rust engineering gate.
- The accepted control-layer baseline retains its 96/96 Rust reliability gate.
- ARKTOR Rescue V0.1 has physical boot, remote diagnosis, read-only Windows inspection and hash-verified data-rescue proof.
- ARKTOR Android 0.8.7 remains the stable phone-workbench reference; 0.8.8 physically accepted the automotive transport recovery over independent LTE.
- ARKTOR Vault 0.3.0-alpha.1 retains 21/21 end-to-end local-memory tests.
- ARKTOR Go retains real external Windows evidence while fresh public-release validation remains open.

## Proof, knowledge and history

- [SC Agent Lab](https://sclabs.uk/products/agent-lab/) — Public proof and evidence centre. It is not a product.
- [SC Node](https://sclabs.uk/products/sc-node/) — Open-source Rust proof of concept that helped shape the ARKTOR direction; not documentation of current proprietary ARKTOR internals.
- [Practical AI Guides](https://sclabs.uk/guides/) — Public engineering principles and evaluation guidance.
- [Engineering Journal](https://sclabs.uk/blog/) — Product lessons and evidence-led development stories.

Public documentation describes capabilities, outcomes and limitations. Proprietary internal ARKTOR control, routing, recovery and trust mechanisms are not public product specifications.
