Use it even for "the deck is boring, help".
implications-roadmap-builder
Turns scenarios and wind-tunnel results into a roadmap of moves (no-regret moves now, options to keep open, big bets with triggers), each with an owner and a date, without choosing the bet for the leadership team, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run implications-roadmap-builder", "so what do we do", "turn the scenarios into actions", "build the roadmap from the offsite", "implications for our strategy", or when the workshop is over, the energy is high, and Monday is coming. Use it even for "what does all this mean for us".
leadership-playback-designer
Designs the playback that makes leadership care about the futures work (the pre-read, the 45-minute session arc, the one decision asked for, and the capture afterwards) and will not ship the playback as a document instead of a session, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run leadership-playback-designer", "present the scenarios to the board", "how do I get leadership to care", "playback session for the partners", "the readout", or when the work is done and the only thing left is the meeting that decides whether any of it mattered. Use it even for "I have to show this to the CEO on Thursday".
scenario-builder
Builds three or four internally consistent constructed futures from the agreed axes, each with its logic, its timeline, who wins and who loses, and the first signs you would see, with every scenario labeled a constructed future and never a prediction, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run scenario-builder", "write the scenarios", "build four worlds for 2030", "turn the axes into stories", "what could this look like", or when the axes are agreed and the team needs worlds it can walk into. Use it even for "give me a few futures for our industry".
scenario-workshop-runner
Designs and supports the half-day or full-day workshop where a client team or your own firm sorts the uncertainties, builds or tests the scenarios, and claims the first moves, with agenda, materials, facilitation prompts, and capture, while the room itself stays human, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run scenario-workshop-runner", "plan the scenario workshop", "design the offsite session on the future", "facilitation guide for the scenarios", "we're running the session next week", or when you are running the session yourself and want it to produce arguments, not sticky notes. Use it even for "help me run this thing".
signal-scanner
Researches the web and logs concrete, dated, sourced signals of change, one card per signal with a link, across social, technological, economic, environmental, and political territory, and merges signals your team spotted, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run signal-scanner", "find signals for our focal question", "what's changing in [market]", "scan the horizon for us", "we need evidence, not opinions", or when the team keeps saying "everyone knows that" without a single link. Use it even for "just find me some interesting stuff about where this is going".
signpost-tracker
Designs the early-warning indicators for each scenario, with thresholds and a review cadence, and runs the quarterly re-scan and review so the scenarios and the roadmap stay alive after the workshop, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run signpost-tracker", "which future are we in now", "set up the early warning indicators", "quarterly scenario review", "has anything changed since the offsite", or when it is three months later and someone wonders whether the scenarios still hold. Use it even for "should we be worried about anything yet".
strategy-wind-tunneler
Runs the firm's current strategy, or a set of options, through every scenario and grades each as holds, conditional, or fragile, naming the trigger that would force a change and guarding against the team's favorite answer, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run strategy-wind-tunneler", "stress-test our strategy against the scenarios", "are we fine in all four worlds", "which of these options survives", "test the plan", or when leadership asks "so are we fine?" and you want a better answer than "probably". Use it even for "does our plan still make sense".
trend-report-writer
Writes the publishable trend report a firm sends to clients, with each trend framed as a tension and a question for leaders, sourced signals, implications, and a provocation, and refuses to print a trend that has no sourced signals behind it, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run trend-report-writer", "write our annual trends report", "turn the trends into a client piece", "we need a point of view on the future of [market]", "draft the trends article", or when marketing wants a trends piece and you want it to be worth reading. Use it even for "make something we can publish from all this".
trend-synthesizer
Clusters sourced signals into named trends with a direction, a maturity, and an honest evidence grade, and files anything with too little evidence as a hunch rather than a trend, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run trend-synthesizer", "what do these signals add up to", "turn the signal log into trends", "name the trends for the workshop", "cluster these", or when the team has a wall of cards and is starting to argue. Use it even for "can you make sense of all this".
uncertainty-mapper
Separates what is already settled from what could go either way, sorts the drivers by impact and uncertainty, and proposes the two axes (or the archetype set) the scenarios will stand on, recording the team's argument rather than replacing it, part of the Creative Futurology Pack by Polar Bear. Use this whenever the user says "run uncertainty-mapper", "which trends matter most", "pick the scenario axes", "what's certain and what isn't", "impact versus uncertainty", or when the trends are on the wall and the team is about to argue about them. Use it even for "help us decide what to build the scenarios around".
ai-decision-stress-test
Help a leader use AI to challenge a proposed team decision before consulting people. Use for a plan, policy, review-process change, or AI rollout that needs counterarguments and questions for the people affected.
close-the-concern-loop
Turn a response to a work concern into clear action and an honest update. Use after listening or consultation to show what changed, what did not, why, who owns the next step, and when people will hear back.
concern-clarifier
Help someone express a work concern clearly without changing its substance or presenting AI as independent proof. Use when a concern is hard to articulate, crosses a professional boundary, or needs wording in another language.
