modelling potential outcomes
The Spizhosynchronic Engine
A practical computational approach to exploring potential outcomes across industries, with your question, context and assumptions at the centre.
Spizho draws on the Ancient Greek spízō (σπίζω), meaning “to chirp”: a metaphor for small fragments of data that, considered together, can reveal a broader picture. Synchronic means examining what exists at a particular point in time. Together, the name expresses the engine’s approach: bringing those fragments into context at a given moment to explore what could follow.
Begin with what you want to understand.
Financial research with 1paiz
The Spizhosynchronic Engine is an independent Eschatonic Umbrella product. 1paiz is the separate platform where we are building public-data dashboards, scenario exploration and research with friends, connected to the engine.
Visit 1paizHow the engine sees data
A number becomes useful when we know where it came from, when it was observed and what it describes. This is the approach we are building into Spizhosynchronic.
Keep each signal in context
Source, observation date, unit and coverage travel with each value.
A price in USD, dated today; a shipment count for last month.
Connect the relationships
Choose what to compare and state the assumptions linking the inputs.
Explore what could follow
Change a stated assumption, compare the resulting scenarios and see what moves.
Keep the starting point fixed, then change the timing or cost.
Bring the question to 1paiz
Our financial research platform brings public data, visual exploration and shared investigation into one flow.
Explore the evidence together, then revisit it as new observations arrive.
Explore a market, a strategic choice or a negotiation. Begin with your context and the outcomes you want to consider.
how an engagement goes
your question, a new perspective
Eschatonic Verses
A window for exploring business questions, ideas and inquiries across disciplines.
I am developing an in-house model for Eschatonic Verses, shaped around the context, sources and intent of your question. Each engagement begins with a conversation, and I personally review the interpretation before it reaches you.
A strategy to consider, a text to understand, an idea to explore. Bring the question in your own words; we can clarify the scope together.

Happiness Is All You Need

From happiness to decisions under uncertainty
My paper, Happiness Is All You Need, informs the design of Spizho. It starts with a declared objective, the people affected and the baselines a decision should protect. It then compares admissible choices under stated models of uncertainty.
For financial scenarios, this guides how we frame the question: identify the outcome and time horizon, retain dated sources, state resource and risk constraints, and compare how the result changes under different assumptions. The paper prioritizes the worst expected standardized wellbeing surplus before aggregate utility, with individual risk protection imposed separately. A financial return is not, by itself, a measure of wellbeing.
This is a framework for making scenario assumptions and trade-offs explicit. The current engine calculates conditional scenarios from public data; the paper’s full protection algorithm is a research direction for integration.
