Research
The written record of the institution. Long-form essays, working papers, and the annual chronology of the ascent.
What the Institute is working on
The Institute works on long horizons. Programmes are stated before they are finished, and findings are published whether or not they flatter the hypothesis.
- Research Programmes
Standing inquiries into health, intelligence, governance and capital.
- Technology Development
CapabilityOS and the engines beneath it, built once and made available across appropriate Anabasis systems and ecosystem integrations.
- Experimental Projects
Bounded experiments with a stated hypothesis and a date at which they are judged.
- Working Groups
Small groups convened around a question, with a written output.
- Intellectual Property
Methods, instruments and materials held by the institution for the long term.
- Research Partnerships
Collaborations with universities, institutes and practitioners, described exactly as they are.
