Zokratiq Labs
A portal for alternate futures and signal intelligence.
When trend decks blur, Labs sharpens the edge. We map what's coming, simulate what matters, and help your team decide with conviction.
"Clarity you can steer by." — Strategy Lead, Global Brand
THE PLANNING TRAP
Most teams plan inside yesterday's frame. The result: slide theater, safe consensus, and missed optionality.
Labs is where we experiment in public—live explorations, speculative tools, and philosophical briefings that expand your decision space before you commit capital.
WHAT ZOKRATIQ LABS IS
Zokratiq Labs blends foresight, systems mapping, and narrative design to help leaders see around corners. We work at the edges—then translate the edges into executive‑ready choices.
Three Pillars
Frontier Tech
quantum, neuro‑AI, synthetic biology translated into business relevance.
Narrative Dynamics
how stories move markets, talent, and policy; memetic radar.
Paradigm Stress‑Testing
simulations that pressure decisions under alternate futures.
HOW IT WORKS

We frame the real question and collect your signals.
Map
We build immersive maps and speculative canvases to reveal the terrain.
Simulate
We run paradigm stress‑tests and future‑pressure scenarios.
Decide
We converge on options, kill‑criteria, and next experiments.
Cadence
10‑day Signal Scan → 4–6 week Core Lab → optional Summit build.

FAQs
8–10 objections handled.
Traditional consulting optimizes within existing frameworks. Labs challenges the framework itself. We use speculative design, narrative analysis, and futures thinking—not just data and benchmarks—to reveal non-obvious possibilities.
We work across stages, but Labs is most valuable when there's meaningful capital to deploy and strategic optionality to explore. Series B+ startups and established companies typically get the most value.
Perfect. Boring industries often harbor the most interesting disruption potential because everyone's using the same playbook. We specialize in finding the weird angles that others miss.
Quality of decisions, not just outcomes. Did we expand your option space? Surface blind spots? Create conviction around bold moves? We track decision quality and strategic courage, not just ROI.
Signal Scan: 2-3 hours of interviews. Core Lab: 8-12 hours across 4-6 weeks (mostly async with 2-3 collaborative sessions). We design around your calendar constraints.
No, we complement it. Think of Labs as your 'strategic R&D'—exploring edges and possibilities before you commit to a formal planning cycle. We feed insights into your existing process.
We translate edge insights into executive-ready language. Our job is expanding your decision space, not breaking your culture. We meet you where you are and stretch from there.
We guarantee expanded perspective and decision-ready artifacts. The value comes from seeing possibilities you'd otherwise miss, not from predicting specific futures. Clarity has its own ROI.
Full NDAs, compartmentalized teams, and secure collaboration tools. Many clients are public companies or handling sensitive M&A discussions. Confidentiality is table stakes.
Signal Scan: $15-25K. Core Lab: $75-150K depending on scope and timeline. Summit builds are custom. We're transparent about pricing after a brief discovery conversation.
