Real-Project Space

Proposed inquiries

These are questions a real inquiry could take up. They are proposals, not projects: there are no participants, findings, validated models, or community partnerships attached to them.

Real inquiry requires real sources, actual people, appropriate authority, consent, and verification. Nothing here substitutes for any of those, and no generated text in LBB can stand in for a person's account.

Childcare Choices

Why is childcare expensive, and what arrangements could be investigated?

What would need opening up

· What the price of care actually covers: labour, space, insurance, licensing, ratios.
· Who is currently paying, and in what form: fees, subsidy, unpaid family time.
· Which arrangements have been tried elsewhere, and what was measured after them.

What is missing first

· Official licensing and fee data from specific jurisdictions.
· Accounts from providers, parents, and people who left the sector.
· Someone with the authority to check the numbers.

Status: proposed · no participants yet

AI in Schools

Where might AI help education, where might it create risks, and who should decide?

What would need opening up

· Which tasks are being handed to a model, and who checks the output.
· What happens to the people whose work or records are involved.
· Who has the standing to decide for a classroom, a school, or a district.

What is missing first

· Policy documents and procurement records, not summaries of them.
· Teachers, students, and families describing what they actually experienced.
· Independent evaluation of claimed benefits.

Status: proposed · no participants yet

Bringing something back

When a source, a person, or a test actually answers part of a question, that belongs in World Return, where the before and after states are recorded rather than asserted.
