Supercharge the precision of your planning & decisions. Work one-on-one with a Superforecaster in this comprehensive, proven program to help you anticipate change & optimize your potential

Become indispensable to any organization through superior forecasting.

Work with the world's best to unlock the secrets of better decisions.


Before we ask ourselves "what should we do" we need to ask ourselves "what could happen?"

As we face greater volatility--whether pandemics, climate or financial crises--we need to upgrade our foresight.

Predictive analysis is an increasingly essential skill in an uncertain world.


But how do you cultivate true predictive skill?

Let's start by looking at what causes bad forecasts.

• Refrain from registering your initial assumptions before and after a decision is made to track your assumptions' validity

• Adjust your perspective on a decision's outcome so that it aligns more closely with the dominant opinion of your team

• Stick only with data most closely tied to the situation you are trying to forecast without conducting a wider open source search

• Avoid deliberately probing forecasts before you make them to identify where your thinking could have gone wrong

• Default to decision evaluation in the form of a "pros and cons" list or a group consensus opinion

If any of these mistakes sound familiar, or if you've never forecasted before, check out this video below:

Better predictive skill is not only possible, it can be learned!


We've spent the last decade leading research in the science of prediction.

We've built proven training systems shown to be the most effective at improving accuracy, even for amateurs with zero forecasting skill.

Multiple studies have shown that--despite their own beliefs to the contrary--most people are terrible at making forecasts and predictions. Especially experts. They only improve when trained and put to the test.

And forecasting tournaments are one of the most reliable ways to reduce noise and bias in decision-making.

Achieve superior decision-making by transforming how you see the future.

Why should I care about improving my predictive reasoning skills? I think I'm pretty good at forecasting!

The only way you can claim you are good at making forecasts is to actually test your skill. Nobel Prize-winning research has shown overconfidence is a key reason why people assume they are predictively accurate, but in reality often blunder in decision-making because the things they thought would happen, actually didn't. The good news is that research we and colleagues have done in anticipatory intelligence shows that getting better at prediction is a trainable skill. And the people who benefit most are the ones who start with the lowest skill level! Getting better at anticipating what comes next is at the core of making better decisions and future-proofing your perspective.

What if I'm not smart enough? Math & science are not my best subjects.

We have built this course for the average math-phobic person, not statisticians. We take complex subjects and use cartoons and humor to make the material approachable. We've tested the content modules on hundreds of human test subjects over several years.

I'm a cofounder of the company Pytho and the creator of ARETE. These programs represent over a decade's worth of my experience in government-funded research developing cognitive science-based techniques, as well as teaching their application to critical decision-making at the highest levels in both public and private sectors. I have a consistently winning track record as a top-ranked Superforecaster since 2012 in IARPA research programs. My training systems are used by governments in Europe & the US. And I have applied my foresight to entrepreneurship, creating several award-winning products that were the firsts of their kind--like the world's first digital magazine, Blender.
