Designing a livable world:
Practical tools for entangled risks
The world’s most dangerous threats are converging faster than our institutions can adapt. We build the tools that help institutions catch up.
Climate stress raises geopolitical tension, democratic erosion weakens arms control, AI amplifies conflict and misinformation, and pandemics widen social and political fractures. These pressures reinforce one another, while the institutions responsible for them are still organized to handle each one on its own. Young people are living with the consequences already.
AI Sits Inside Every One of These Threats. It’s Also How We See Them.
AI can compress nuclear decision windows, lower the technical barrier to bioweapon design, and extend surveillance across borders. It can also hold complex, shifting, cross-domain information in view, which is what governing entangled risk requires.
We work with leaders ready to govern and invest across domains rather than within them, using foresight to understand how change cascades from one domain into the next, and design to turn that into laws, institutions and tools people can use.
The Architecture We Inherited Was Built for a Different Century.
In the five years after the Second World War, leaders built the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.
That architecture sorted the world’s problems into separate mandates: peace here, health there, finance elsewhere. The work now is to find where those domains meet and decide accordingly.
Our vision: Security measured by whether a decision strengthens or erodes the conditions in which people and living systems flourish.

These three programs build the tools, the legal strategies, and the funding coordination that entangled problems require.
