Why this is public
You should be able to see how we think before you ask us to build anything.
Once you have the idea, you still have to decide who will pay, which part of the work belongs in the product, what it must remember and connect to, and what the first useful version will cost.
We have worked through those questions for every case in the portfolio. You can read the business case here. The deeper research, system design and delivery plan stay in the private brief.

The market case
Here is the assumption behind the base case.
The model assumes half the portfolio never launches. It divides the other half among operating companies, growth companies and a small breakout group.
Modeled annual portfolio revenue$6.45B
Equal to 0.45% of Gartner’s projected 2026 software spending and 1.61% of IDC’s reported 2026 enterprise AI platform, application and services spending.
| Outcome | Share | Ventures | Annual revenue each | Portfolio contribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Does not launchThe opportunity is never financed, commissioned or taken into market. | 50% | 500 | $0 | $0 |
| Operating businessA focused company wins a durable buyer and becomes a healthy operating business. | 35% | 350 | $3,000,000 | $1,050,000,000 |
| Growth ventureThe company expands across customers, workflows or markets and earns growth-scale revenue. | 12% | 120 | $20,000,000 | $2,400,000,000 |
| Breakout ventureThe company becomes a category leader with a large recurring revenue base. | 3% | 30 | $100,000,000 | $3,000,000,000 |
| Base case | 100% | 1,000 | Mixed | $6,450,000,000 |
Half remain unbuilt while the launched half divides across operating, growth and breakout outcomes.
A larger share launches and more of the portfolio reaches growth or category scale.
