Scenario planning is how serious organisations handle a future they can't forecast. You build several coherent versions of what might happen and test your strategy against each. It's standard practice in energy, finance, defence, and corporate strategy. Marketscenario.com names that applied to markets. It fits a research firm, a forecasting product, a risk analytics platform, … [Read more...] about marketscenario.com

t3i.org
Three characters on the .org, in the letter-digit-letter shape that reads cleanly and types fast. T3I has no entrenched meaning, which leaves it open for an organisation to define. Technology, transformation, or training on the T; innovation, institute, or intelligence on the I. Institutes and initiatives in particular tend toward this kind of compact naming once their full … [Read more...] about t3i.org
interacademic.com
Interacademic describes collaboration between institutions, which is how most serious research now happens. Joint programmes, shared facilities, multi-university consortia, cross-border degrees, and the enormous administrative apparatus that makes any of it work. The name fits a platform for institutional collaboration, a credentials and transfer service, a research … [Read more...] about interacademic.com
expectancy.org
Expectancy is a word that does serious analytical work.

It's one of the most cited statistics in existence. The name fits a demographic research organisation, a public health body, an actuarial resource, a longevity research … [Read more...] about expectancy.org
k2i.org
K2I reads as knowledge to impact, which is the exact phrase used across research funding, academic outreach, and philanthropy to describe the thing everyone says they want and struggles to demonstrate. Knowledge translation, research impact, and evidence-to-practice work are all real, funded activities with departments and job titles attached. A centre, programme, or platform … [Read more...] about k2i.org
r4g.org
Three characters on the .org in the X-for-Y form. R4G reads as research for growth, resources for governance, or results for good.

A funder, a partner, or a grantee reading R4G will parse it as a mission statement rather than as an … [Read more...] about r4g.org
reservoircomputing.com
Reservoir computing is a real and increasingly interesting branch of machine learning. It uses a fixed random dynamical system as the computational substrate and trains only the readout layer, which makes it dramatically cheaper than training a full network. That property has made it a serious candidate for edge devices, photonic hardware, and neuromorphic chips. The field has … [Read more...] about reservoircomputing.com
osint.org
Open source intelligence went from a niche tradecraft term to a mainstream discipline in about five years. Journalists use it, financial investigators use it, human rights researchers use it, and every defence and security organisation has a team doing it. The acronym is now the name of a field. OSINT.org is the exact term on the extension that field actually uses. Look at … [Read more...] about osint.org
dossier.org
A dossier is a file on a subject. Collected, organised, and kept. It's the word investigators use, the word intelligence work borrowed, and the word newsrooms reach for when a story has been built from documents rather than quotes. That makes it one of the better available names for anything in the research and investigation space. A profiles database, an investigative outlet, … [Read more...] about dossier.org
analysis.org
One word, no modifier, on the .org. Analysis is the verb of every think tank, policy shop, research institute, and standards body working today. The .org extension carries the institutional weight those organisations want, and the word carries the function. Single dictionary words at this level almost never come loose. When they do, they go to buyers who understand that a … [Read more...] about analysis.org
