This sounds a little like a lab I was once part of. I’m now in an entirely different field of research.

That's a philosophical difference. I don't disagree, but given the various constraints involved what you're asking isn't possible. Additionally, I'd note that it sounds like they are practicing Lean methodology - which is justifiable.

I'm sorry, what am I asking?

In your own words, you are asking for 'science'. And if you click the link through to the SEP, you'll see that it's well documented that this is, in the words of Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science.

If I work in a kitchen with unsanitary working practices, does that mean I have a philosophical difference with the restaurant because I don't want to eat their filthy food?

The comparison falls flat in too many ways.
