How we work
Evidence first, in everything we build.
The same standard we hold our simulations to is the one we hold ourselves to.

Evidence over opinion
We change our minds when the evidence calls for it.
02
Progress every day
Meaningful steps daily, not just every week.
03
In person
One room in San Francisco, close to the problem and to each other.
