Test first. Then trust.
I’m Zairan Wang. Assay Notes is my personal practice: I test ideas about AI products in the open, through studies you can operate, a system that keeps running, and notes.
I set the bar. AI does most of the building.
An assay tests what a substance actually contains. I treat ideas about AI products the same way.
- Division of work
- I set the goal, define what counts as good, and decide whether each result is accepted or sent back. AI does most of the implementation.
- Figures
- Every rate and count in the studies is computed by code, never typed by hand. The studies run in your browser and call no model.
- Checks
- The site’s own rules are written as automated tests: what each colour is for, the copy in three languages, how headings break, how each page is built.
- Publishing
- A note goes live only after I have read and approved it.
