Our approach

Find the signals that matter.

The Horizon Scanner brings together material from carefully curated research, policy, and specialist sources, building a vast searchable evidence base over time.

We use semantic search to help us find developments by meaning. By searching a high-quality body of material, we help you find unusual developments and weak signals that might otherwise be missed.

Technology does the searching and filtering, but people make the judgement. We bring expert futurist knowledge to the task of understanding what is relevant to your business.
