Scan · Horizon

See further than your strategy deck.

Watch the macro environment for signals that change what's possible in 12 to 36 months. Open literature, policy filings, science, reputable press — pulled together into a structured radar your team can actually act on.

About 20 minutes start to finish.

What it does

Three things, on every run.

  • Pulls signals from open literature, policy filings, scientific publications, and reputable press.
  • Clusters them by category, scores them on verifiability, ranks by convergence across sources.
  • Refreshes on a schedule. The view of the future updates as the world does.
Live example

Here's what this scan actually produces.

Run on the theme AI infrastructure scaling with 31 frontier models. 206 unique signals after dedup, 70 confirmed by two or more models.

Each node = one signal. Angle by category, distance from centre by verifiability, size by ensemble convergence.

  • Source citations on every signal — no orphan claims, no AI vibes.
  • A workspace you can re-run quarterly without starting over.
