How it works
Foresight: the flight simulator for crisis leadership.
You already wargame. Foresight removes the overheads, so your people spend their time on design and judgement, not admin.
01 / 03
Design
Build your wargame around your operating context, doctrine, plans and commander’s intent. Scenarios, actors and injects in hours, not weeks.
Humans own the objectives, architecture and validation.
02 / 03
Deploy
Your staff go live against an AI red cell with its own goals, doctrine and appetite for risk. Your white cell controls adjudication, injects and tempo. Pause, branch or steer at any point.
Humans keep agency, control and adjudication.
03 / 03
Debrief
Hindsight logs every order, move and delay against the picture available at that moment. Participant reflections analysed in hours, not weeks.
Humans interpret the context, meaning and lessons.
Use every exercise to improve the next.
Where we operate
Strategic and operational wargaming.
Proven in professional military education and training. Now extending into analysis with research partners.
01
Major multinational exercises
Add the strategic and political layer to large-scale combined exercises. AI plays governments, media and the wider environment, so the force trains inside a realistic crisis.
02
Command post exercises
Run your headquarters’ battle rhythm against an adversary that adapts. No force deployed.
03
Joint headquarters rehearsal
Rehearse coalition coordination and handovers across commands, from wherever each headquarters sits.
04
Professional military education
Take command roles, make the calls and brief them as events unfold. Instructors stay in control.
Hindsight Analytics: from seminar wargame to dataset.
01
Every decision captured
Moves, orders, messages and the reasoning behind them, timestamped against the game state.
02
Reflections analysed in hours
AI-assisted thematic analysis of participant reflections and free text.
03
Course-of-action analysis
Develop, test and compare courses of action, branches and escalation thresholds.
04
Compare across runs
Same game, different teams or assumptions, side by side.
05
Collective training evaluation
Performance against training objectives, for exercise evaluators.
06
Futures wargames
Deployment, posture and diplomacy in the world of 2040.
07
Export your data
Take the data into your own analysis tools.
08
Analysts in charge
AI drafts the findings. Your analysts interpret, refine and sign off.
01
Red teaming
An AI adversary with its own goals and doctrine. Find where the plan breaks before an opponent does.
02
Information warfare
Adversary media and news cycles react to every release and public statement.
03
Force design and concept development
New concepts and force structures, used by commanders under pressure.
Our doctrine
The Capital Shield Doctrine for AI-Enabled Wargaming
Wargaming is a fundamentally human endeavour. AI should serve that craft, never supplant it.
01
Human judgement comes first
A wargame’s value rests on sound design, experience, interaction and the decisions people make.
02
Technology widens the aperture
AI extends what designers, facilitators and players can do. Human expertise always sets the direction.
03
Humans adjudicate
AI plays the roles and flags unexpected moves. Your white cell maintains agency, control and adjudication.
04
Nothing hidden
Every AI-driven move and assumption is logged and reviewable in Hindsight.
05
Limits acknowledged
We’re transparent about what AI can’t do. We always design for reliability and human control.
06
Push the boundaries
New AI methods and models, trialled in the open with practitioners and research partners. What proves its worth, we keep.
