USK began in technology for two reasons. It is where the founding capability is deepest, and it is where systems are changing state fastest. Autonomous software agents now call tools, tools call services, and the layer between them is new enough that its failure modes are still being discovered. Gerfach Labs exists to discover them with evidence.
But technology is a starting point, not a boundary. The habits it teaches are portable: instrument before you act, reproduce before you claim, build for operation rather than demonstration. Those habits are rarer in most industries than in software, which is exactly why they are valuable there.
So the group's structure is deliberately industry-agnostic. It can hold a research lab, a software company, a manufacturer, a property or a local operating business under the same parent, with the same standard of evidence and the same horizon. Which of those comes next depends on where we find a system worth understanding, not on a strategy document that decided in advance.
