What makes us different
Evidence over opinions
We don’t guess. We test. Timestamps, rubrics, and acceptance targets turn “feedback” into decisions you can make this week.
Built for indies
Lean scopes, clear pricing, and deliverables you can actually use. No bloat, no mystery — just momentum between tests.
Private by default
Your IP stays yours. NDA-friendly workflows, redacted samples, and tidy delivery that keeps your work off the rumor mill.
Craft × Speed
Clean TTS builds, rapid prototypes, and on-deadline reports. We keep quality high and cycle time short so iteration doesn’t stall.

Who We Help
Designers and small teams who want evidence, not opinions — and a plan they can run this week.
First-Time Designer
Make first plays fast and friendly. We clean up the rules teach, set a tidy TTS table, and run a Quickstart to find real friction.
Iterating Indie
AI helps us explore options quickly; humans lock in legibility, hierarchy, and consistency. You get speed without the mush.
Small Publisher
Need demo-ready builds and shareable receipts. We deliver tidy TTS, teach-mode touches, and redacted reports your team can act on.
“BoardBrain Labs took our messy mid-dev build, set a clean TTS table with teach-mode touches, and gave us receipts — not vibes. The report landed in 72 hours with timestamps, rubrics, and a next-test plan we could run the same week.”
“For PnP releases, clarity makes or breaks adoption. BoardBrain Labs restructured our rules and delivered a tidy TTS teach mode, plus a redacted share pack our remote testers could run without us. The acceptance targets ended the back-and-forth and kept the schedule on track.”
“We design after hours in a basement. BoardBrain Labs met us there with evidence — A/B toggles for the smallest useful change, first turn under ten minutes, and a report we could act on immediately. It cut a week of debate and let us ship the patch next sprint.”
The call rings out for heroes. Adventure awaits!
Turn your rules nerd brain into a paid side quest. Help shape real games, have fun at the table, and get compensated for the hours you’d be thinking about this stuff anyway.
