Build organizational capability
to capture capital events.
We embed THINK's strategic framework into your organization. Your team learns to evaluate capital events autonomously / moving from reactive to proactive capital event capture.
Not sure what capital events are? Learn why they matter.
"We ran the diagnostic thinking we'd validate our existing approach to federal research funding. Instead, we discovered we were missing $2.8M in Track 1 funding opportunities / entire categories we didn't know existed. Used THINK's framework to apply across the board. Six months in, 40% more submissions. It's not just a diagnostic; it's a 5-year strategy reframe."
Director, University Tech Transfer Office
"Our team thought they knew the capital event landscape in our region. The scan showed us 3 major opportunities we'd completely missed / and one was in active RFP. We moved in 6 weeks with a playbook that actually worked. Six months later, we'd closed 2 of the 3. That diagnostic paid for itself in month one."
Executive Director, Economic Development Organization
"We brought in THINK because we needed an outside view of our decision process. What we got was a mirror / they showed us exactly how we think, codified it, and handed us back a system we could scale. Our team went from evaluating capital events ad-hoc to running them through a repeatable framework. That's the real outcome."

Network Proximity
How close is your network to the decision-makers controlling capital in your sector? (Schmidt Network Platform Map)
Monopoly Position
How ownable is your Layer 6 position? (Thiel / Zero to One, Stanford 2014)
Window Timing
How much runway before the highest-value windows close? (Schmidt 5-Year Prediction Model)

Get your score →Your diagnostic output becomes your operational system. Pre-Diagnostic takes 1–2 weeks. Full Diagnostic takes 3–6 weeks depending on your organization's scope and complexity. Either way, you get a Capital Event Intelligence Playbook and configured Digital Employees your team can deploy and scale.
The Methodology Behind the Score
Four dimensions. Three validated frameworks. One score.
Blindspot Gap
Infrastructure Blindspot Scanner / Compound Leverage
The formula: Large Capital Investment + Workforce Shortage + Manual Processes = Your Market. Scored across 7 active federal deployment sectors totaling $2.5T+.
Network Proximity
Schmidt Network Platform Map
Applied from Eric Schmidt's 5-year platform prediction discipline. Measures how close your network sits to the Layer 2-3 decision-makers controlling capital in your sector / and whether you're aligned early or reacting after the window moves.
Monopoly Position
Thiel / Zero to One (Stanford, 2014)
The narrowest category you can own completely before competitors recognize the shift. 10x edge, proprietary compound, last mover test / applied to your specific capital event context.
Window Timing
Schmidt 5-Year Prediction Model
The money moves before the behavior does. Window Timing scores how much runway remains before the highest-value windows in your sector close. Early alignment compounds. Late alignment competes on price.
What the Score Actually Measures
Your Capital Event Score measures Layer 6 readiness against capital already moving from Layers 1 and 2. By the time a capital event is visible at Layer 5, the alignment window at Layer 6 is already closing. The score tells you how early you are. Stage 4 Monitoring keeps you that early.
What happens after your diagnostic?
Stage 3 — Execution — From $12K
We take your playbook and deploy the Digital Employees that execute it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Pre-Diagnostic and Diagnostic?
Pre-Diagnostic ($1,500) is a focused entry point: 1 skill, micro playbook, delivered in 2 weeks. Full Diagnostic is comprehensive and customized to your org: full playbook, 3-6 skills, 90-day roadmap, scoped to your org size and mandate complexity.
Who is this for?
For organizations and teams that don't have a systematic way to turn capital events into growth opportunities.
How long does it take?
Pre-Diagnostic: 2 weeks. Full Diagnostic: 3 to 6 weeks depending on org complexity and data availability.
What do I need to bring?
Access to a key decision-maker for the interview, relevant org data (strategic plans, budget documents, program descriptions), and clarity on the capital event or opportunity you're trying to activate.
What happens after?
You receive your deliverables and we walk you through activation. Next, you can add the digital employees you uncovered or recommended in your diagnostic and build out your capital event monitoring system with internal strategists or ones we provide.
Can we customize scope?
Yes. Full Diagnostic can be scoped to your org's specific needs. Get in touch to discuss your situation and we'll recommend the right fit.
