# Braven

> Experiment management for hardware R&D — docs for the Braven webapp, watcher, and Python SDK.

## Docs

- [Series vs. Figures: the data model](https://docs.bravenlab.com/concepts/data-model.md): What actually gets stored per experiment, and why Series and Figures behave differently when you try to overlay them.
- [Devices](https://docs.bravenlab.com/concepts/devices.md): How Braven identifies the physical thing behind a measurement, how it gets linked, and what scope it lives at today.
- [Glossary](https://docs.bravenlab.com/concepts/glossary.md): The one-page cheat sheet — every core term in Braven, defined once.
- [End-to-end worked example](https://docs.bravenlab.com/example-workflow.md): One realistic scenario, start to finish — folder to pipeline to comparison — using nearly every function in the library.
- [Analyze and compare](https://docs.bravenlab.com/guides/analyze-and-compare.md): What the Analysis tab is actually for, and how to build a comparison chart across experiments step by step.
- [Ingest data](https://docs.bravenlab.com/guides/ingest-data.md): Get data into Braven with the desktop watcher, or push it directly from your own scripts with the SDK.
- [Link a device](https://docs.bravenlab.com/guides/link-a-device.md): Step-by-step — attach a physical device to an experiment, whether your pipeline already knows the device key or not.
- [Reports](https://docs.bravenlab.com/guides/reports.md): Turn an Analysis arrangement — or any figure, file, or note — into a saved, shareable document.
- [Write a pipeline script](https://docs.bravenlab.com/guides/write-a-pipeline-script.md): How pipeline execution actually works, and the minimum you need to know to write one.
- [Welcome to Braven](https://docs.bravenlab.com/index.md): Experiment management for hardware R&D — track experiments, run pipelines, and compare results without changing how your lab already works.
- [Project tabs, explained](https://docs.bravenlab.com/navigating-braven/project-tabs.md): What each tab in a project is actually for — Overview, Experiments, Devices, Analysis, Reports, and Pipelines.
- [Workspace, Company, and Projects](https://docs.bravenlab.com/navigating-braven/workspace-and-projects.md): How the app is organized above the experiment level — company, project switcher, and your profile.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.bravenlab.com/quickstart.md): Get a Watcher Key, connect the desktop agent or SDK, and see your first experiment appear in Braven.
- [Direct logging](https://docs.bravenlab.com/sdk-reference/direct-logging.md): Push results to Braven from your own scripts — wandb-style init / config / summary / upload / finish.
- [Installation and login](https://docs.bravenlab.com/sdk-reference/installation-and-login.md): Get braven.py into your project and authenticate once.
- [Pipeline scripts](https://docs.bravenlab.com/sdk-reference/pipeline-scripts.md): Full reference for the braven API as used inside a script Braven runs for you (not from your own machine).
- [Querying experiments](https://docs.bravenlab.com/sdk-reference/querying-experiments.md): Read existing experiments and their files back out of Braven — a read-only client for analysis notebooks and scripts.
