Labs / Experimental Indexes

Labs Indexes are experimental structures used to test new mechanics, behaviors, or index designs.

They are explicitly labeled as experimental.

Characteristics

• Rules or behavior may change

• No assumption of long-term availability

• May be created by DiversiFi or external contributors

Scope

Labs Indexes exist to evaluate feasibility and system behavior and are not positioned as stable or durable structures.

Governance Model

Labs Indexes follow an adaptive governance model.

They are explicitly subject to change as part of experimentation.

What Can Change

• Rules

• Mechanics

• Index behavior

• Availability

Constraints

• Clear experimental labeling

• No implied durability

• No automatic promotion to other categories

Users are informed that:

• Changes may occur without permanence

• The index may be modified, paused, or removed

• Experimental status is always visible
