The room before the decision.
While the decision is still open, we come with the research already done, sit in the room with you, and put what we think in writing.
Discuss a live situationA Session, a project, a mandate. Each one earned.
01 · The Session
In confidence, on your own situation, with one partner or both.
02 · A defined project
A strategic frame, a creation brief or an AI operating architecture. Four to twelve weeks, with a stated end, and who leads named at the start.
03 · A mandate
Where the decision keeps coming back: a retainer, or a board or advisory seat.
Usually by introduction. A direct email works as well.
If nobody has made one, write to hello@tyche.black. Say what has changed and what has to be decided. One of us will reply, and it will be one of us.
No free proposal. A first meeting that already works.
One partner or both, depending on the decision. Before it, the research is done: the market, the numbers, the people who will have to want what you decide. After it, you receive our view in writing, for your board. The fee is agreed before the Session.
A proposal written before anyone has seen the situation is an estimate. The Session finds out. Sometimes it finds that the decision needs nothing more than that written view, and we say so.
What the memo looks like: an excerpt from Sergio’s work for a small state, before the firm.
Situation a small jurisdiction. New government. “Innovation” named as a priority, no instrument behind it.
What has changed political mandate; the previous approach cannot be repeated.
Prevailing view build visible infrastructure and the market will follow.
Our hypothesis write the law and the institution first; the park comes after the rule.
What must be true a legal framework others will recognise; an institute that can carry it; a way for companies to enter.
What we are not recommending a science park as the first move.
Next design the institute and the legislation as one piece of work.
Both partners must want the work. A decision must be behind it.
Whichever of us leads. And the decision must be real: something settled one way or the other, with money, a business or a name at stake.
Confidential from the first message.
From the first email, through the Session, and after. What you share is stored on infrastructure we own, in Switzerland, and seen by the two of us and the people we bring into your work. The one thing we rent is model inference: the models read what the work needs, and what they see never trains an outside model. Nothing reaches another client. What our systems carry between engagements is what they learn about markets and method, not your material.
Write to the partners directly.
