Innovation stalls when teams generate too few alternatives or promote attractive ideas before they survive a meaningful comparison.

Doofus
Evolve better ideas. Promote nothing that cannot survive the test.
Doofus floods the search space with competing ideas, sandboxed experiments, and quality-diversity pressure—then refuses to confuse novelty with victory. Candidates advance only when held-out benchmarks and calibrated controls survive the challenge. Evolution proposes. Evidence promotes.

01 System capabilities
What it does.
- Attended multi-model debate
- Sandboxed evolutionary search
- Held-out benchmark qualification
- Calibrated human-owned promotion
02 Client value
What this system makes possible.
Doofus is more than a standalone repository. Its architecture can be adapted to a class of real operating problems.
The system must create diverse candidates, run controlled experiments, preserve negative results, and qualify improvement on evidence it did not optimize against.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
- Innovation and experiment pipelines
- Strategy comparison
- Process optimization research
- Solution tournaments
TRANSFERABLE COMPONENTS
- Candidate generator
- MAP-Elites archive
- Held-out benchmark
- Promotion gate
