Counterfactual Reality Engine

Test the Future
Before Betting the Company.

Source Coins creates multiple modeled versions of a venture, market, customer population, competitor environment, and capital structure — then uses controlled real-world experiments to determine which assumptions survive.

Calibration Principle
Governed Loop

Simulation generates and attacks possible futures. Reality decides which futures survive. Machine thought is spent exhaustively before committing consequential capital.

Not every question
deserves the most expensive model.

Market Stress-Testing

Synthetic Customer Worlds.
Attack Adoption Assumptions.

Modeled customer populations parameterize budget limits, urgency thresholds, switching resistance, and objections to discover where conversion breaks.

VECTOR 01 • SENSITIVITY

Price Sensitivity Modeling

Identifies the exact inflection price where adoption drops across tiers.

VECTOR 02 • ELASTICITY

Feature Elasticity Checks

Measures whether complex capabilities increase churn or improve retention.

VECTOR 03 • CAPACITY

Support Burden Forecasting

Anticipates which buyer segment generates disproportionate ticket volume.

*Synthetic customers are scenario instruments; they do not replace real market testing.

Adversarial Response

What happens after
everyone else reacts?

A competitive landscape is never static. When you launch a feature or cut a price, incumbents retaliate. War games model second- and third-order competitor countermoves.

COUNTERMOVE 01

Incumbent Price Matching

How long can your margins survive an incumbent race-to-zero?

COUNTERMOVE 02

Rapid Feature Parity Clones

What happens when a larger competitor clones your feature in 60 days?

COUNTERMOVE 03

Channel Lockout Defense

Modeling distributor exclusivity barriers and retaliation tactics.
