Experimental ideas consultancy · think tank

Ideas, tested in the open dark.

Trace Bankarius is an online studio for thinking. We pressure-test ideas, prototype concepts and run small strategy experiments — rigorous where it counts, curious about the strange parts.

What we do

Idea audits

A clear-eyed review of an idea: what it assumes, where it's fragile, and what would have to be true for it to work.

Concept labs

Short, focused sessions to turn a loose notion into sketches, framings and testable prototypes.

Strategy experiments

Small, cheap experiments designed to learn fast before committing time or money.

About

Trace Bankarius is an independent, experimental think tank founded by robbinicus de bankarius. It exists for the ideas that don't fit neatly anywhere yet — part consultancy, part laboratory. We work online, keep things plain-spoken, and leave room for the weird, because that's often where the good ideas start.
