About

Most strategic arguments depend on a small number of assumptions. They are often buried in prose, presentations or spreadsheets, which makes them difficult to examine and even harder to revisit.

This site brings those assumptions into the open. Some pieces are essays or research notes. Others include a presentation, calculator, map or game that lets the reader test the argument for themselves.

The work also provides the intellectual foundation for Tantiss, a separate AI-assisted strategy workflow product. thebasecase.io is the publication; Tantiss is where the approach becomes a repeatable working process.
