Strategic simulation · Pre-mortem analysis

What if? Answered before it matters.

AI-enabled wargame simulations for leaders, decision-makers, governments, and boards. Stress-test your decisions and brace for the shocks you cannot control, before the consequences are real.

What we do

Some decisions cannot be learned by failure, and some events cannot be absorbed without preparation. A treaty withdrawal, a domestic policy reform, an infrastructure failure, a border escalation, a technology embargo. By the time the consequences are visible, the window for action has closed.

Strategomics develops ad-hoc matrix wargames and uses AI to map what follows. Whether you face a choice you must get right or an event you cannot prevent, we populate the scenario with synthetic stakeholders: politicians, regulators, interest groups, corporations, and adversaries, each acting from their own goals, information, and constraints. The situation is then played out across hundreds of plausible futures.

What you receive is not a forecast. It is a structured map of where this path can break, who will cause it to break, and which assumptions are silently bearing the entire construction.

The methodology is currently in development and validation. First engagements begin in Q4 2026; we welcome conversations in the meantime.

High-stakes domains

A single methodology, applied across domains where the cost of a wrong decision is high, the impact of an unforeseen event is severe, and the path to course-correction is narrow.

Geopolitics & diplomacy

Treaty negotiations, deterrence postures, multilateral coordination, strait and chokepoint crises, alliance cohesion under stress.

Defence & security

Force posture, contested-environment operations, hybrid and influence threats, escalation management, national resilience.

Public policy

Pre-mortems for reforms, regulation, and implementation in contested domains: energy, environment, health, technology.

Crisis response

Cascading events, escalation dynamics, institutional fragility under information warfare, coordination failure between agencies.

An innovative wargaming method

Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) make it possible to populate a strategic scenario with synthetic actors who behave like the real ones. The discipline is in how that capability is harnessed.

  • Generative agent-based modelling

    Synthetic actors with explicit goals, beliefs, and asymmetric information, not personality-free statistical proxies.

  • Cascading-event simulation

    How a single decision propagates in parallel across the military, diplomatic, economic, and information domains.

  • Empirical calibration

    Agents are anchored to reference data: large-scale public-attitude surveys, legal corpora, historical precedents, validated behavioural literature.

  • Developed through academic research

    The method is being developed and validated through independently funded academic research projects.

  • Auditable by design

    Every result traces back to the agents, prompts, parameters, and reference data that produced it. There is no black box, and no claim that cannot be defended in front of a sceptical board.

About

Strategomics was founded by a research scientist with a twenty-five-year publication record at the intersection of ecological modelling, complex-systems and strategic studies.

The founder's training combines doctoral work in ecological modelling at Ecole Normale Supérieure (Ulm), graduate education in political sciences at University of London, postgraduate strategic studies at King's College London, economic intelligence cycle at Institut des hautes études de défense nationale, and a wargaming certification from the Military Operations Research Society.
