Innovation Labs: new software, built with AI-enabled engineering.

For projects nobody has built before. In compensation and performance, where we know the domain best, or in any business process you want to rethink. We take it from first idea to production, with you.

Projects that start from a blank page.

Innovation Labs builds software that doesn't exist yet, designed around the way your organization works rather than the way a product expects it to.

  • Compensation and performance

    Fully custom tools beyond the RedCAT platform, from the team that already runs complex compensation and performance cycles.

  • Any business process

    Workflows, approvals, internal tools and data handoffs that still run on spreadsheets and email.

  • Not sure it's new?

    Bring the problem. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a Labs build or something the RedCAT platform already does.

Custom software, sooner.

Our engineers use AI-assisted development throughout the build: to reach a working prototype sooner, to explore more options before committing to one, and to turn custom requests around faster than a traditional build would allow.

What doesn't change is accountability. Every change is reviewed by the RedCAT engineer who owns it. Whether AI tools may touch your data is your call: by default they don't, and any exception is agreed with you in writing. When one is, the work runs on a private model deployment in RedCAT's own cloud account, where your data is never used for training and every request is logged.

  • Earlier prototypes. See working software early, while it's still easy to change.
  • Faster iteration. Changes that keep pace with your business.
  • Human review. An accountable engineer on every change.

Built by a team enterprises already trust.

Innovation Labs is the same RedCAT team that runs compensation and performance cycles for global enterprises, SOC 2 Type II audited.

From proof of concept to production.

You work directly with the RedCAT consultants and engineers building your solution, at every step.

  1. Discover

    We learn your process, your constraints and the problem your current tools can't solve.

  2. Prove

    A working proof of concept you can react to, early.

  3. Build

    Our engineers build it, with your team reviewing along the way.

  4. Implement

    We verify integrations and calculations before it goes live.

  5. Refine

    Innovate, test and refine, cycle after cycle.

Bring us the problem nobody has solved yet.

Tell us what you're trying to build. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a Labs project.
