See the signals shaping your next planning cycle.

The plan is due and the world keeps changing. Signals tracks the forces that could reshape the next 12 to 36 months and flags the ones your team should discuss. You get a radar with sources on every signal.

What is a horizon scan?

A horizon scan is a structured look at policy, science, industry, and media for early signals of change. It looks 12 to 36 months ahead, so your team can spot a shift while there is still time to respond.

What the scan does, and what your team keeps.

What it does
  • Finds signals in literature, policy filings, scientific publications, and credible media.
  • Groups them by category and scores verifiability. Signals with support from several sources rise to the top.
  • Refreshes on a schedule so the radar keeps pace with the world.
What you keep
  • A categorized radar of 40 to 100 signals your team can read in five minutes.
  • Sources on every signal, so each claim has evidence behind it.
  • A Workspace you can revisit and rerun each quarter.

How it groups what it finds.

The categories this scan sorts signals into by default. Rename, merge, or replace them once the Workspace is yours.
