Test the decision before you're in the room.
A structured thinking tool for experienced decision-makers facing high-stakes situations. TactiPath applies game theory to the scenario you describe - players, incentives, likely moves - and works the logic through before you commit, not after.
Built for situations where the outcome turns on how others respond.
TactiPath isn't a chatbot and doesn't hand you generic advice. You describe a specific situation - a negotiation you're about to enter, a competitive dynamic, a position you want to test before going public. It maps the strategic game inside that situation and helps you think it through rigorously. The useful output is rarely the recommended move. It's the assumption you didn't know you were making.
Structured. Conversational. Specific to your situation.
Three steps. The useful output is the assumption that was wrong.
-
Describe the situation
In plain language. A negotiation, a conflict with multiple parties, a decision where you are uncertain how the other side will behave. No game theory knowledge required.
-
Map the game
TactiPath identifies the players, their incentives, and the likely payoff structure. It walks through the moves and countermoves, including the ones you have not considered. The useful output is usually not the recommended strategy - it is the assumption that was wrong.
-
Test your assumptions
Change a player, change an incentive, change how you think the other side will respond. TactiPath shows how the strategic outcome changes - surfacing the range of plausible outcomes and the logic underlying each.
Most useful when the outcome turns on how others act.
- Senior decision-makers preparing for negotiations, competitive bids, or high-stakes stakeholder situations.
- Strategy and policy advisors who want a rigorous second opinion before recommending a course of action.
- Anyone who has been in a room where a decision was made and later thought: we did not think through how the other party was going to respond.
Common questions.
- Do I need to understand game theory?
- No. TactiPath introduces the relevant concepts as you work through your scenario. The theory is the engine, not the product.
- Is it like ChatGPT?
- No. TactiPath is purpose-built for structured strategic analysis, not open-ended conversation. It applies a specific analytical framework to the situation you describe rather than generating general responses.
- Is it private?
- Scenarios are not stored or used for model training.
- Is it free?
- TactiPath is currently in early release and free to use. iOS only at this stage. Leave a tip for the development team if it is useful.
