Our mission

Viable Labs exists to close the gap between the ability to build and the ability to decide what to build. We help product organizations strengthen the insight side of discovery so decisions about products, AI, and automation are based on real evidence about customer needs rather than assumptions.

Who we work with

We partner with organizations facing high-stakes product and innovation decisions, including:

  • Digital product organizations

  • Industrial and manufacturing companies

  • Consumer goods and physical product companies

  • Innovation, R&D, and strategy teams

What unites these organizations is the need to make product decisions they can explain and stand behind before committing significant time, money, and people.
