How a scenario earns its place

Step 1
Signal collection

Collects real signals, policy shifts, emotional tensions, and technical vectors.

Step 2
Scenario drafting

Builds compact future narratives with a clear premise and turning point.

Step 3
Plausibility review

Separates empty fantasy from plausible progression and rejects weak or repetitive setups.

Step 4
Trade-off review

Checks human experience, opposition, and social tradeoffs around the scenario.

Step 5
Editorial grading

Grades plausibility, future relevance, descriptive originality, emotional resonance, and lingering impact.

Step 6
Publication

Only scenarios that pass the quality gate are published; user branches pass through moderation.
