About Foresight.OS

A strategic foresight workspace for venture investors, corporate strategy teams, and professional futurists. Foresight OS turns a curated set of macro drivers into AI-generated scenarios across multiple horizons, tones, and domains — surfacing in minutes the kinds of outputs that traditionally require multi-day analyst engagements.

Methodology

When you generate a scenario, your selected drivers are passed to a large language model along with your chosen time horizon, tone, and domain. The model returns five sequential stages — each with a description, a one-word theme, a divergence value, and 3–4 investable category archetypes — visualized on a futures cone calibrated to the four classical bands (Probable, Possible, Plausible, Preferable). Tone selection shifts the categories: optimistic surfaces emerging plays, baseline the consensus thesis, challenging the defensive moats and incumbents-who-survive.

The 100 macro drivers in this workspace were synthesized from publicly available frameworks published by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, then de-duplicated and re-categorized across the STEEP framework:

  • S Society
  • T Technology
  • E Economy
  • Ec Ecology
  • P Politics

Additional database sources can be added to bring more focused context if desired.

Each driver carries a source attribution surfaced on its card:

  • WEF World Economic Forum
  • MCK McKinsey & Company
  • SYN Synthesized — a sub-driver or interpolation derived from the source frameworks but not directly named in either

Drivers that appear in both WEF and McKinsey carry both labels (de-duplicated overlap).

Driver Content & Selection Weighting

Each of the 100 drivers carries a title, a one-sentence descriptor, a STEEP category, and a source attribution. The descriptor is a concise signal statement — not an extended analysis. When you generate a scenario, the platform passes the selected driver titles to the language model as equal-weight inputs. When you generate an If/Then Logic Flow, it passes both titles and descriptors, giving the model slightly richer signal to reason about interactions.

There is no numeric weighting applied to drivers. All selected drivers are treated as equal inputs, and the model synthesizes their interactions, tensions, and compounding effects autonomously. Effective weighting is entirely user-driven:

  • Selection — only the drivers you select are passed to the model. Unselected drivers are invisible to generation.
  • STEEP balance — if your selection contains five Technology drivers and one Society driver, the model's outputs will naturally lean toward the Technology cluster. Varying the STEEP mix produces substantively different scenarios even from the same topic area.
  • Exclusion toggle — the Active Drivers bar in the Scenario view lets you temporarily remove individual drivers from a generation without deselecting them, useful for testing how sensitive a scenario is to any single driver.
  • Driver count — a small, focused selection (3–5 drivers) produces tight, coherent scenarios; a larger selection (10+) produces richer, more complex outputs with broader scope.

Future releases will introduce optional driver signal-strength ratings to allow explicit up- or down-weighting of individual inputs before generation.

Driver Distribution

Of the 100 drivers, attribution breaks down as: 22 from both WEF and McKinsey (de-duplicated overlap), 29 from WEF only, 22 from McKinsey only, and 27 synthesized sub-drivers. This roadmap will broaden over time to incorporate additional public sources — likely Gartner, IEA, IMF, IPCC, and government foresight units — to reduce single-source dependency and increase methodological diversity.
