Markets reward those who understand how to think under uncertainty. Macropoiesis teaches the quantitative methods behind institutional analysis: hypothesise, formalise, confront with data, revise. Scientific method as investable skill.

§ Goal

Build a self-improving model of the financial system itself

Macropoiesis is not a collection of standalone tools. The explicit long-term goal is to construct an underlying generative model of the financial system — one that explains, predicts, and revises its own structure. The theoretical engine is the Free Energy Principle: every model, every indicator, every simulation on this platform is a component of a system that minimises surprise by continuously updating its beliefs against incoming evidence.

F = Eq[ln q(θ) − ln p(y, θ)] → min

The system maintains a probabilistic world model of macroeconomic structure, market regimes, and inter-agent dynamics. When new evidence arrives — a policy shift, a liquidity event, a structural break — the model updates. The tools you learn here are the components of that system.

i. Perceive

Evidence Extraction

Ingest filings, macro data, network topology. Score observations against the current model's predictions.

ii. Update

Belief Revision

Minimise free energy by adjusting priors — tighten distributions where the model is right, widen them where it's surprised.

iii. Act

Active Inference

Generate scenarios and counterfactuals that reduce expected uncertainty — the system seeks information, not confirmation.

Four learning paths. Each teaches a method — not an outcome.
$ ./learn.sh_
macro_simulation
Simulation & Scenario Design
Learn to build multi-agent simulations and stress tests that expose structural dependencies, generate scenarios, and surface parameter sensitivity across macroeconomic hypotheses.
evidence_extraction
Evidence & Calibration Methods
Master domain-adapted techniques for reading filings, policy documents, and research — scoring evidence against explicit assumptions with out-of-sample validation.
decision_frameworks
Uncertainty Quantification
Study the methods behind probability distributions, counterfactual reasoning, and audit trails. Understand how institutional analysts structure decisions under incomplete information.
ai_integration
AI-Augmented Workflows
Build knowledge bases, connect data pipelines via MCP Server, and design self-improving analytical workflows. Learn to use AI as a methodological partner — not a black box.
Not slideware: every analytical tool documents its own method on-page, and the valuation tools ship interactive labs — vary the assumptions and watch the machinery respond.
On the tools

"How This Works" Notes

Methodology sections with the formulas, a parameter→mechanism map, honest caveats — and experiments to try. The reasoning ships with the output.

Interactive

What-If Laboratories

Vary growth, discount rates, terminal growth, tail dependence. Sensitivity tornados, r×g heatmaps, scenario A/B comparison with overlaid distributions.

Guided

One-Click Experiments

Rate shock, the terminal-value singularity, Jensen's inequality, tail dependence, Monte Carlo convergence — each runs live on real data and shows what moved, and why.

$ valuation --lab tornado MU
# which assumption is the valuation hostage to?
Discount Rate (WACC)  █████████████ −18% / +24%
Terminal Growth       █████████ −12% / +15%
Initial FCF Growth    ██████ −9% / +10%
$ valuation --experiment rate-shock
# +1pp discount rate → fair value −15%. Same cash flows — only the price of time changed.
Structured learning paths from foundations to applied analysis — in development. The teaching built into the tools above is live today. All tutorials will use historical data — you build the skill, you make the decisions.

Building an AI-Augmented Research Workflow

Connect MCP tools, structure a knowledge base, design retrieval pipelines, and build self-improving analytical loops.

λ

Method over opinion

Every tool and tutorial is grounded in formalised, testable methodology. We teach the reasoning — not the conclusion.

Collaborative

Members contribute analyses, discuss methods, and refine models together. Peer review, not guru culture.

Inclusive

Access to analytical methods should not be a privilege. No one is excluded by income.

Interactive learning tools — you provide the inputs, you interpret the outputs. Every tool ships a "How This Works" methodology note: the method is part of the product.
Valuation

Probabilistic DCF Engine

Monte Carlo-simulated valuations with full uncertainty quantification. Input your own assumptions, see the distribution they imply.

Indicators

Context-Aware RSI

RSI extended with global liquidity data (M2) and news sentiment — an indicator that understands context. Learn to read it, not follow it.

Network Analysis

Geometric Economics

Ricci curvature on financial networks: detect structural fragility in correlation topology before it shows up in prices.

Collaboration

Peer-Reviewed Analyses

Community-contributed method discussions, shared models, and a growing knowledge base under open license.
