Arguments, Shipped — Software by RAAK

RAAK advises senior policy and strategy leaders and writes about technology, markets, and institutions. These projects are the third strand of that work — software designed and shipped in-house.

Each one is a product and an argument: about Europe, technology, and power; about whether public speech can be made more grounded and honest; and about what a very small practice can now build.

Retorik landing page — ‘You have opinions. Only a select few know.’

01SaaS Product · Pilot Stage

Retorik

The institution speaks in one voice. Yours.

Voice-matched executive communications. Retorik ingests an executive’s speeches and writing, builds a searchable record of what they have actually argued, and grounds every draft in it — so posts sound like the executive, not the machine. Around the voice engine sits the full institutional workflow: guided onboarding, two-way review and approvals, scheduling, audit trails, and publishing to LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky.

Capex Watch — The Trillion-Dollar Capex Bet, an interactive explainer

02Interactive Explainer · Live

Capex Watch

The Trillion-Dollar Capex Bet — what the AI build-out is really priced on.

The arithmetic behind the boom, in five charts you can push on. Adjust the assumptions — capital spending, hardware life, required returns, capture rates — and watch the revenue floor move; a scoreboard retests the framework against each earnings print. The launch assumptions stay visible as reality revises them.

GeoLedger — track how crypto concentrates power and fosters dependence

03Data Tracker · Beta

GeoLedger

Track how crypto concentrates power and fosters dependence.

Markets built on global digital rails don’t float above politics — they become infrastructure. Four dashboards follow the chokepoints forming in crypto’s supposedly decentralised systems: stablecoin currency dominance, market structure, depegging fragility, and Bitcoin miner concentration.

GeoVeu — EU-centred geo-economic watch calendar

04Watch Calendar · Live

GeoVeu

An EU-centred geo-economic watch calendar.

GeoVeu tracks the dated events that matter for Europe — summits, rulings, tariff reviews, reporting windows — on a rolling timeline with daily AI enrichment and high-precision discovery of European Parliament agenda items. Risk windows we watch, not predictions.

Next Out of the Workshop

Scenario Engine · In Development

Europe Options Simulator

A deterministic scenario engine for Europe’s strategic options, 2026–2035, built around a choke-exposure index of Europe’s two-sided dependencies on Washington, Beijing, and Moscow. Every figure carries a source and a confidence tier; every run is reproducible and citable.

Discourse Checker · MVP

Public Sphere Post Review

Checks any social-media post against a research-backed rubric for whether it helps or harms public conversation — a small product with a large claim: public speech can be graded, and improved.

New work lands here first, then graduates to the list above.
