- The proposed residencies run for three weeks and package shipped tools for reuse across later sites.
Field notes
The proposed workflow begins with mapping a shop’s order flow before anyone opens an editor, then uses a separated workspace where experiments can be rolled back without changing the shop’s systems. Edgebox describes a three-week cycle and gives examples of software being carried from one residency into another. Its evidence model is unusually explicit: each outcome is paired with a signed record naming the work, change, and timing.
