Who we help

Built for decisions made under genuine uncertainty.

FP1 works with organizations tracking a fast-moving domain that need an outside intelligence function they do not have in-house.

Institutions & policy
Mission-driven organizations
Tracking a domain that moves faster than their own research can. We become the signal-tracking and synthesis layer they are missing.
Foundations & allocators
Capital deciding where to point
We bring rigor on what actually works, and the leading indicators that tell you when to move and when to wait.
Investors & operators
Pricing the transition
Decision-makers who need signal rather than noise, and an independent read they can defend.
How we work

Three ways in, ascending.

Most readers start free and move closer as the work proves itself.

Read
State of the Transition
A free weekly briefing: the Capital and Belief panel and three correspondent dispatches. The open front of everything we do.
Commission
A briefing
A single-question deep dive where the correspondents apply the full analytical stack to a decision you are facing. Scoped per question.
Retain
The monthly engagement
A standing relationship with a defined rhythm. The deepest and most useful way to work with us, detailed below.
The retainer

A standing monthly rhythm, scoped to your domain.

We build a live radar with you, around the signals you choose to track. Each month turns that signal into something you can use, and into a pipeline of substantive work funded as it is defined. We review the engagement together at three months.

Each month
A working session
We review what the radar is surfacing and decide together where to point next.
Each month
A briefing
One written briefing on a question that matters to your agenda, grounded in the signals and the evidence behind them.
Each month
A scoped proposal
One project, defined and measurable, drawn from the radar and ready to fund when the timing is right.
The thinking behind the work

Rigor you can inspect.

Every engagement draws on the same apparatus we publish in the open: the Novacene Correspondents, the methodology track, the Transition Atlas, and the weekly State of the Transition. Read it before you hire us.
