AI research
Pioneering Retroductive AI.
A new form of ampliative intelligence, built for the frontier where the known runs into the unknown. It thinks natively in concepts, understands entire systems and follows scrutinisable, white-box lines of reasoning. The ultimate goal? To uncover root causes and, above all, the mechanisms driving them.
The problem & our solution
Today’s AI excels at predicting from the observed. Uncovering the unobserved is another matter altogether.
AI as we know it is extraordinary at retrieving, recombining and recognising what is already known, but complex chronic disease lives exactly where our knowledge wears thin: across systems, across disciplines, and in the individual patients who do not fit the textbook. Patients like our founder.
We are the research lab pioneering Retroductive AI, and our first application is the toughest test we know: uncovering the root-cause mechanisms behind individual manifestations of complex disease. The ultimate goal? To inform personalised treatment design and precision therapeutics.
“Knowledge gave me a second chance at life. Now I am building the AI I wish I had when I needed it most.”

What we do
Research
Explanation-first, concept-native reasoning models, stress-tested on complex multi-system disease and grounded in lived experience.
The research programme 02Partnerships & collaborations
Co-developing the models’ first applications with research groups, clinicians, data and infrastructure providers, and industry.
Ways to partner 03Expert opinion
Independent scientific judgement for clinical research, medtech, biotech, healthcare, economics and policy, and AI governance.
Ask for expert opinion 04Speaking
Keynotes, talks and lectures for conferences, executive teams, research and academic institutes.
Invite us to speakMost of our time goes into research. Our models are in early R&D: partnerships now shape what they become, and every collaboration is a custom co-development case, not the purchase of a finished product.
For expert opinion, you get a researcher’s independent judgement, not a consultancy’s bench.
Who we are looking for
Help us build a new kind of AI.
- Research & data partners
Research groups, clinicians, data and infrastructure providers with skills or resources that complement ours. Propose a collaboration
- Pilot sites
Clinics, and pharma, biotech and diagnostics teams with complex, unexplained or entirely new medical cases. Bring us your toughest cases
- Funders & investors
Grant bodies, foundations, and mission-aligned investors backing a new form of artificial intelligence. Fund the research
Also: expert opinion, speaking, and a way for patients to take part.
Crack the code, together
Bring the problem nobody has cracked yet.
The messy dataset, the half-formed hypothesis, the case three specialists could not explain. We will pull it apart with you, test ideas and find the thread that ties it all together.
