Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle laboratories by type, accreditation, safety, services and access, and route exposure incidents to emergency help.

A facility equipped for scientific research, experiments, measurement, testing or teaching, such as university, clinical, pathology, industrial and field laboratories, operating under safety and quality rules.

What it is for: Research, testing, diagnosis, quality control and education.

It can be find accredited testing laboratories; understand laboratory safety levels and rules; interpret what a laboratory report contains, in general terms; find how to book tests or access facilities.
