The brief

Halden researchers kept data in one system, notes in another and questions in email. Newcomers took months to learn where anything lived.

The route we took

We mapped how a single study moves from question to paper, then built the workspace around that path. Every dataset carries its own notes and open questions, so context travels with the data.

What changed

Fourteen labs use Orbit Desk every week. New students get productive in days, and two groups have dropped their own tools entirely.
