RAAK.work

Code with consequence.

Many people understand institutions or technology. Few understand both. That mix is what gives earlier insight into likely futures, and the means to draw attention to them. RAAK is one person that offers it to organisations working in Europe.

What RAAK does

01

Where things are heading

Europe has not built a platform company or a frontier AI lab, and the reasons are not the ones usually given. Stablecoins put financial stability at risk (the LSE paper (opens another site)). The AI boom is funding powerful technology and is still likely to end in a crash (Capex Watch).

02

Scenarios and narratives

Possible futures worked out carefully enough to plan against, and the story that explains them to a board, a regulator or the public.

03

Communications

Articles, speeches, briefings and posts that carry a position to the people who need to hear it, in the voice of the person who signs them.

Software

The same arguments, built as software you can use.
