Client Services · Synthetic Time Travel

Stand in the future before you decide.

We render a specific, grounded version of what happens next — a decision made legible before it's made. Not a forecast you're asked to trust. A future you can walk through, interrogate, and argue with.

What you get

A rendered future, reasoned backward.

Start from the outcome you're weighing — the park that replaces the airport, the market three years after the agents arrive, the franchise that hasn't been greenlit — and we reason backward to the decisions that get you there. The deliverable is a decision artifact: something vivid and sourced you can put in front of a board, a room, or a family foundation, and argue with before the money moves.

STEP 01

Frame the outcome

We pin the specific future in question — named entities, a real date, the decision on the table.

STEP 02

Run the simulation

A real Flash or Pro run against grounded entities in the Clockchain — not stock imagery, not a mood board.

STEP 03

Render the artifact

Scenes, a walkable narrative, and the causal chain behind them — labeled honestly as a simulation.

STEP 04

Hand you the argument

You leave with something you can show. The point isn't a prediction; it's a better-informed decision.

How to engage

Two ways in.

We're opening a small founding cohort. Delivery is hands-on and personal, so seats are limited on purpose.

Public interest · Pro bono

$0 / project

For public-interest organizations and family foundations working on decisions that matter to a community. We run it at no cost — and the work becomes a public case study on our journal.

One grounded simulation + rendered artifact
Published, with your permission, as a Timepoint case study
Honest, labeled, no private figures without clearance
First study: a reverse-causality render of a public civic decision

Founding Pilot

$1,000 / month / project

◆ Five founding seats — founder-delivered, so that's the ceiling

For commercial teams in finance and entertainment weighing a real, dated decision. A working engagement priced to start, not to commit.

A grounded simulation built to your question
Rendered artifact for your board, pitch, or offsite
Direct work with the founder — no account layer
Month-to-month, one live decision per project, cancel anytime
Optional: publish it as a named case study

SIMULATED SCENARIO — a Timepoint AI demonstration. Not an actual customer engagement. Every rendered future we publish carries this label, first-visible, in the image itself.

What we won't tell you

Honesty is the product.

Most of this field oversells. We'd rather you trust us on the second engagement than doubt us on the first.

We don't claim to predict the future accurately — no published calibration record exists yet, and we won't pretend one does.
We're not the first to simulate populations. We render specific, named futures, not aggregate crowds — that's the difference we sell.
We run on off-the-shelf models. The value is in the combination and the craft, not a secret engine.
A simulation is never presented as a real outcome, real traction, or a guaranteed result.

Who delivers

You work with the founder. There is no account layer.

Sean McDonald

Founder, Timepoint AI

Sean scopes, runs, and delivers every engagement personally — the person on the first call is the person who does the work. He builds Timepoint in Santa Monica and hosts AI Tinkerers LA. Seats are capped at what one founder can deliver well, which is why there are five.

Before you ask

The questions buyers actually have.

What happens after I reach out?

A fifteen-minute call with Sean — no deck, no prep, no materials. You describe the decision; he tells you honestly whether Timepoint can render it, what it would look like, and the timeline. You'll know the scope before the call ends.

What do I actually receive?

At minimum, a working session: your questions answered, with the reasoning shown. Where it helps, a rendered artifact — scenes, a walkable narrative, and the causal chain behind them — in a form you can put in front of your board or room. Every rendered scene carries its simulation label in the image itself.

How long does an engagement take?

It's scoped on the first call, and the unit of work is a month, not a quarter. A pilot project produces its first working deliverable inside the first month or you shouldn't pay for a second.

There's no NDA. How is my question protected?

By structure, not paperwork: in a zero-knowledge engagement you hand over nothing — no files, no figures, no record you asked. There is nothing to protect because nothing changes hands. If your engagement does involve materials, that's a scoping conversation on the first call, not a default.

What if you're already working with my competitor?

One side of a live question at a time. If your question collides with an existing engagement, Sean declines the call and doesn't say why. The same silence protects you once you're the client.
