The idea of “Index Labs” has popped into my brain too at various times!

However, given our [engineering/product constraints](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/engineering-and-product-constraints/1679), I am having quite a hard time thinking that right now is a good time to use our limited resources to launch/support a brand new program.

This ^ is hit on in OA’s **downsides** reply – and I think those downsides are big at the moment.

imo, this might be more of a “later” sort of thing, as the **benefits** make loads of sense.
