Hardware
How machines behave in the real world: heat, wear, power draw and the parts that fail before the rest.
Research
We build the machine, so we study the machine.
Calyraen makes the hardware, the operating system and the platforms that run on top. That means we can measure the whole stack end to end, and we publish what we find, including the parts that did not go our way.

Our standard
A claim you cannot check is just marketing.
Every study here comes with its method and its numbers. If we changed our minds later, the old work stays up with a note saying so.
What we look into.
One stack, studied from the metal up.
Operating systems
What people do with CalyOS when there is no IT department in the room, and where the software gets in their way.
Society & safety
The effect of what we ship on the people who use it, from parental controls to how readable our own words are.
From a question to a published answer.
-
It starts with something we cannot explain
A return rate that does not match the lab. A feature nobody uses. The interesting work begins where the data stops agreeing with the story.
-
We measure before we theorise
Because we own the stack, we can instrument it properly rather than guessing from the outside. The measurement comes first and the explanation second.
-
Then it goes out in full
Method, data and the parts that surprised us. Reviewed inside, then published so anyone can take it apart.
The record so far.
