Lineage Foresight: a skunkwork agency.

A young man stands in a dimly lit, graffiti-covered room, suggesting physical presence, energy, and human agency.

Part deep research practice, part design studio, we help you understand what is changing, decide what matters, and make the next move.

We work curiously and critically across culture, science, and technology—investigating, interpreting, and creating alongside you.

We move between what is experienced now, what is emerging, and what is possible next.

We are AI-literate, yet human-led. We believe technology can generate possibilities; judgment, context, and culture help us decide what is worth making.

“ Radical by design, deliberate in practice”

Our Services

Historical scientific illustration of squid anatomy, combining observation, classification, and curiosity.

  • Understand what is actually happening on the ground. We use fieldwork, observation, and qualitative research to uncover how people genuinely experience systems—then turn those insights into actionable strategy, visual journeys, and clearer decisions.

  • Test ideas in the real world before scaling them. We design small-scale, live trials that help you understand how an initiative, program, or service performs in context—before committing to full implementation.

  • Make complex ideas easier to understand, support, and fund. We shape strategic visions into compelling narratives that speak to the priorities of funders, boards, partners, and grant decision-makers.

  • Adopt new technology without losing sight of the human. We help you evaluate the cultural, ethical, and organizational implications of AI and automation, with a focus on trust, legibility, responsible adoption, and real-world use.

  • Prepare for change before it becomes obvious. We facilitate futures labs and strategic foresight processes that challenge assumptions, surface emerging possibilities, and help teams make better long-term decisions.

  • Build the relationships that make innovation possible. We bring together practitioners, institutions, communities, and partners to create the networks, structures, and shared conditions needed for sustainable collaboration.
