Ontology index

The assumption layer, compressed for mobile.

The desktop map shows the full constellation. On mobile, Crene shows the same structure as an index: public anchors, shared ontology fields, and the live nodes attached to each map.

What this map shows

Shared assumptions recur across separate strategy maps, factors, and thesis decompositions.

Why it matters

When one driver changes, more than one view may need to be revisited.

How to use it

Click a thread, inspect connected components, then open the source map.

How Crene works

From question to assumption map.

Crene turns a strategic uncertainty into a structured object: assumptions, observable components, model disagreement, and update conditions.

01
Frame the question
A decision-relevant uncertainty with no clean market price.
02
Decompose assumptions
Break the outcome into drivers, components, and pathways.
03
Score disagreement
Compare model consensus, spread, and conflicting views.
04
Monitor change
Surface the evidence that would update the map.
Live assumption maps

Active strategic questions.

Scenario maps track long-horizon uncertainty through structured pathways, assumption families, and observable update conditions.

Thesis maps

Track the structure under a thesis.

Disciplined use

Built for structured judgment, not black box signals.

Crene is designed for teams that need inspectable assumptions, model disagreement, and update conditions before evidence is complete.

Not market predictions
Crene does not claim to forecast traded prices or replace market signals.
Not investment advice
Outputs are research infrastructure for internal analysis and decision support.
Not a black box signal
Every map is organized around assumptions, disagreement, and what would change the view.
Access

Bring one thesis.

Crene maps one strategic question your team is already debating, then tracks the assumptions, model disagreement, and update conditions over time.
