A think tank costs €2 million a year. Yesbrainer costs one afternoon.

McKinsey charges six figures for a multi-lens analysis. A policy research institute employs dozens of specialists to produce what Yesbrainer's Synthesis Engine generates from a single prompt: a structured examination of an idea through economic, political, social, cultural, technological, environmental, and ethical perspectives — with tensions mapped and blind spots identified.

No, it won't replace a room full of PhDs. But it'll show a solo thinker the same shape of the problem. And it'll do it in three minutes, offline, for the price of the files.

The democratisation of structured thinking wasn't supposed to happen this quietly.
