Independent lab · est. 2026
Decennium Labs is an independent lab and digital publisher. We build neutral tools, methods, and field notes that let one operator run what used to require a team — and we document everything in public.
What one operator can run with the right tools
How we ship solo
None of these are proprietary. All four are built on open primitives anyone can adopt. We document them as we use them so you can borrow what works.
Eleven role-specific agents (data, infra, code, strategy, QA, UX, content, growth, security, platform, ops) work the way a real council does — distinct expertise, hand-offs, written debate. The operator is the chair.
Impact
One operator covers the bandwidth of a 5–8 person team for everything except final approval.
Hindsight stores the facts, decisions, gotchas, and references each project needs. Agents recall them on demand. Operator only carries what is being decided right now.
Impact
Context-switching cost drops from minutes to seconds — across 60+ active projects.
Sixty-three production sites in a single Git repo. Path filters trigger deploys per affected site. GitHub Actions matrix parallelizes the work. Templates keep new sites at minutes-to-launch.
Impact
Marginal cost of site #64 is a `pnpm create` and a DNS record.
R2 storage, Pages or static deploys, Workers AI for image generation, DNS + CDN integrated. Talos K8s cluster on Hetzner Helsinki for the long-running services.
Impact
Production-grade stack at hobbyist cost — currently ~€35/month for the whole cluster.
Things we ship
Each product solves a specific bottleneck for one operator running many things. The descriptions name the productivity gain — not the feature list.
From the lab
Engineering
A working pattern for multi-agent collaboration: roles, memory, hand-off rules, and the failure modes we hit along the way.

Strategy
What changes when an AI-assisted method moves from prototype to ongoing operations across many small repositories.

Infrastructure
Four CX33 nodes in Helsinki, immutable OS, ARC scale-from-zero. What we changed, what we kept, and what surprised us.

Infrastructure
R2, Pages, Workers AI, and a single GitHub Actions matrix. What it cost, what we removed, and the egress-zero math.
