Where we test what comes next.
Labs is where Wimentor Limited turns a problem into a prototype. We build small, put it in front of real users, and let the results decide. What works becomes a product. What doesn't teaches us something worth knowing.
How the lab works
Three steps, run in weeks rather than quarters.
Start from a problem
Every experiment begins with something we keep running into in Cameroon and across Africa, not with a technology we want to try.
Build the smallest version
A prototype narrow enough to test in weeks, put in front of real users rather than discussed in a meeting.
Keep, park or publish
Promising work graduates into a Wimentor Ltd product (WLP). Useful pieces we will not take further are published as open source.
What we're exploring
Four themes run through the lab's work. Each one connects to a problem our products already touch.
AI for learning & careers
Assessment, recommendation and mentorship, the work behind Wimentor.
Workforce intelligence
Turning what learners, mentors and employers do into a clearer picture of where the jobs actually are.
Local market data
Mapping businesses and demand in markets the big databases ignore, the work behind Prospectr.
Health technology
Early work on tools for people and clinics, informed by our team's background in health tech.
Work with the lab
Three ways in, whether you have a problem to test or time to build.
Work in the lab is experimental. Anything here can change direction or stop, and nothing is a commitment to ship.
Have a problem worth testing?
