The amount of stuff just logic wise in this is ridiculous... Did you know if a girl's intelligence gets low enough you can have them work at your company for 0 wage fucking genius.
Okay now that's doubly misleading. Am I just imagining the pixel platformer game also titled Lab Rats??? The protagonist was a female wearing a black crop top, black skirt, and boots. I remember too many details for it to be just my imagination

The game you are reffering to is most likely "Lab Rat" (singular, not plural ^^)
Now that most of the "universal" modifiers are Tasks, you can check a girl's profile under Review Staff and see everything that is effecting them passively (assuming you reveal their interests).
It's not a log, so you won't see random events or your interactions on there, only the Tasks and Serums, but everything else is being thrown in your face as its happening so you don't really need that.
Flaws are bad traits on your serum that have a random chance of appearance (except for Nora research quest) based on the traits you put on your serum, the % of risk decrease with the mastery of the traits. They decrease value and can increase attention (I think).
The serum aspects determine their selling values. Each aspect is tied to a specific value that decreases with each serum sold that contains the specific aspect and increases through marketing work. You can see the current values by going to your marketing department and selecting "Sell". Flaws lower the sell value in the same ways but its value is fixed. A serum can gain flaws after the research of the serum design is finished.

Is there a breakdown of the basic workflow for this game? Like how to make money day-to-day?
It used to be fairly obvious: buy supplies, produce serum, sell serum. But it all went sideways with the aspects release and now I'm not sure what I need to do to keep the company afloat.

Does this game have a quick start yet? I come back every now and again to try this but just setting up the company takes for ever (even with cheats).
I can only give you some advice based on the modded version of the game that fixed some issues with the new aspect/contract system. The main idea is to make your money by fulfilling contracts, since they have a much better payout than "manual serum sales", but as far as I know, in the unmodded game version, the contract creation is pretty messed up, giving you contracts in the early game that are impossible for you to fulfil. So the best strategy would be to design serums with a diversity of aspects and hiring good marketing employees to keep the selling values as high as possible until you are able to fulfil contracts.
This game is going off the rails... It becomes increasingly complex for no good reason. Who looked at it and decided "this needs more mechanics!"? Why was clarity even added? Why are mechanics being built around it?

I love how we got a good update in a while now that I can appreciate. I mean I'm up for spread sheet simulator myself since I play paradox interactive games but what I'm worried about is the scope creep. Another game which I love "Superpowered" got axed because of both scope creep and spaghetti code by using Renpy. I hope the dev of this is not going to do that but who knows.
I hate posting my plans before they're finished because I sometimes fuck off before they're done but I am working on a sort of early game guide, covering the first two-few weeks of play. Setting up the first serums and planning more, hiring your first half-dozen employees, fulfilling the first contracts and explaining the new marketing systems, and the early-game corruption of your family and crew including walkthroughs of the earliest events. I'll throw an explanation of the mechanics in there too since it looks like a lot of people still don't get Clarity, what goals are good to work towards early on, and what traps to avoid until you're stable. If that sounds keen and I haven't posted it by the end of this weekend, go ahead and @ me because I probably got et by Elden Ring or w/e

So basically, high flaw=Bad.. What about Novelty? I see certain actions lower novelty of certain characters.
