- A named reviewer for consequential output
Sample data
This article uses a fictional Resilient Community Retrofit Program. The files contain one demonstration row for every documented feature, so each capability can be tested without private or production data.

| # | Feature | Sample action | Expected result | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scientific Calculators | calculate a heat-transfer coefficient with units | a method-labeled result | synthetic-demo |
| 2 | Python Compute Core | run summary statistics through the supported backend | a typed compute response | synthetic-demo |
| 3 | Numerical Solvers | fit a simple energy model and inspect convergence | solver output and diagnostics | synthetic-demo |
| 4 | Visualization | plot measured versus predicted energy use | a figure tied to dataset and run IDs | synthetic-demo |
| 5 | Projects and Workspaces | create LAB-RETROFIT-001 | a persistent research workspace | synthetic-demo |
The downloadable files include all 20 feature rows.
Procedure
- Open the product from its canonical Sustainable Catalyst page or administrative route.
- Confirm the product and backend version before creating data.
- Create a synthetic workspace named RESEARCH-LAB-RETROFIT-001.
- Download the CSV and JSON examples supplied below.
- Use the feature matrix to complete the first six feature checkpoints.
- Save, close, and reopen the workspace to verify persistence.
- Inspect warnings, sources, units, permissions, and lifecycle state.
- Export or hand off only after completing the verification checklist.
1. Scientific Calculators
Action: calculate a heat-transfer coefficient with units.
Expected result: a method-labeled result.
2. Python Compute Core
Action: run summary statistics through the supported backend.
Expected result: a typed compute response.
3. Numerical Solvers
Action: fit a simple energy model and inspect convergence.
Expected result: solver output and diagnostics.
4. Visualization
Action: plot measured versus predicted energy use.
Expected result: a figure tied to dataset and run IDs.
5. Projects and Workspaces
Action: create LAB-RETROFIT-001.
Expected result: a persistent research workspace.
6. Dataset Registry
Action: register monthly meter data with schema, source, license, and units.
Expected result: a versioned dataset record.
Expected output
- a method-labeled result
- a typed compute response
- solver output and diagnostics
- a figure tied to dataset and run IDs
- a persistent research workspace
- a versioned dataset record
- A saved record that reopens without data loss
- An export or handoff that identifies product, version, artifact, source, and review state
Verification
- Every sample value remains attached to its identifier and classification.
- Warnings remain visible and are not silently treated as approval.
- The saved workspace reopens in a clean session.
- The product and version shown in output match the installed release.
- Another reviewer can understand how the output was produced.
Responsible use
The Lab supports research and teaching, not unsupported scientific, engineering, clinical, or regulatory claims.
