The Strategic Framework
Financial architecture built on three foundational pillars
Mission Brief
Most financial advice is built on assumptions, conventional wisdom, and industry standards that haven't been questioned in decades. We take a different approach.
Our platform combines First Principles Thinking, Game Theory, and the Laws of Power to create a strategic framework for building and protecting wealth.
First Principles
Break down to fundamentals
Strip away assumptions and rebuild financial concepts from their basic truths. Question everything: Why do we invest? What is risk really? What determines value?
By reasoning from first principles, we avoid blindly following conventional strategies that may not serve your specific situation.
Game Theory
Strategic decision-making
Financial markets are games where participants' decisions affect each other. Understand Nash equilibria, dominant strategies, and competitive dynamics.
Every investment is a bet on how other players will act. Game theory helps you anticipate market behavior and position strategically.
Laws of Power
Recognize power dynamics
Money is power, and power operates by specific laws. Understand leverage, positioning, and strategic advantage in financial markets and personal finance.
From negotiating salaries to structuring investments, recognizing and wielding power dynamics is essential to wealth building.
How We Apply This Framework
In Retirement Planning
First Principles: We calculate retirement needs from fundamental living costs, not industry rules of thumb like "80% of income."
Game Theory: We model market scenarios and withdrawal strategies as multi-period optimization problems.
Laws of Power: We help you build financial independence—the ultimate power position.
In Investment Strategy
First Principles: We examine what actually drives returns: productive assets, cash flow, and market psychology.
Game Theory: We analyze competitive advantages, market timing, and strategic positioning.
Laws of Power: We focus on asymmetric opportunities where you have information or structural advantages.
In Risk Management
First Principles: We define risk as permanent capital loss, not volatility.
Game Theory: We consider tail risks, correlation breakdowns, and regime changes.
Laws of Power: We maintain optionality and strategic flexibility to capitalize on volatility.
