◈ Protection Atlas ZA / Prototype Lab
Research and design archive · South Africa · 2026

Every iteration in one place.

Explore seven interactive directions for Protection Atlas ZA, from early simulations and the gross-income flow to new evidence governance, claims planning and 2026 military-veterans support.

Experimental archive, not verified financial advice. Historical screens and new demos include assumptions, fictional records and calculations that may not determine real eligibility. The current Protection Atlas and officially sourced records should be used for research; no archived screen is imported into the approved-facts API.

Current product and governance

New work should go into the current Atlas and its source-governed backend. Current reference facts are exposed only after review, with source URL, excerpt, effective date and audit record. The archived builds and new simulations remain isolated, versioned design references.
