Working Theories.

In an era where certainty expires faster than playbooks can adapt, we provide a clear point of view, tested in reality, and built to evolve.

Working Theories started in response to a reality every operator recognizes but few can name:
the world is changing faster than our understanding of it.

In the past, decisions were made from stable assumptions about markets, playbooks, tools, and teams.
Today, the most dangerous posture is certainty.

AI compressed timelines, rewired how teams are capable of working, and made yesterday’s “best practice” feel like folklore.

We believe companies need a monumental shift in how they strategize, experiment, and build.

It's nearly impossible to keep pace with the rate of innovation. And observing your peers only shows what they're saying, not what is actually working.

Our mission is simple: document the reality of what's working today and analyze the impact of what's about to change.

A working theory is a clear point of view about the future that is strong enough to act on, humble enough to evolve, and proven in the mess of real execution.

We publish these hypotheses as a living, breathing body of work - refined through operational pressure, tested with real budgets, and evolved when proven wrong.

Some theories become frameworks. Some become content. A few become businesses we own and operate.
