Origin Story

Where Intelligence Meets Intuition

Feynman was born out of the principle of Tertia optio or third way, the recognition that beyond binary choices lies a third path that unlocks deeper intelligence and more effective analysis.

The Inspiration

The foundational inspiration behind our approach to structured analysis. Heuer's groundbreaking work on the psychology of intelligence analysis revealed how cognitive biases shape our judgment.

Richard Feynman

The Teacher

Nobel Prize-winning physicist, teacher, and master of simplification. Feynman revolutionized how we approach complex problems by breaking them down to their fundamental principles.

Intelligence Excellence

A symbol of intelligence excellence and limitless potential. Blaise represents the aspiration that drives us, the reminder that with the right mindset and tools, any of us can achieve our goals and reach the pinnacle of our profession.

The Journey of Feynman

Feynman is a product born from a journey, a quest to bridge the gap between raw data and true understanding. It started with a simple question: How can we empower analysts to think clearer, work faster, and see further?

Our journey took us from the structured tradecraft of Heuer to the teaching principles of Feynman, all inspired by the excellence exemplified by Blaise. We realized that the future of intelligence wasn't just in better algorithms, but in better workflows that amplify human cognition.

"Feynman is the result of that journey. A platform built not just to manage data, but to guide the analytical process itself. It is a testament to our belief that when you combine the right method with the right tools, intelligence becomes not just a profession, but an art."

The Birth of Feynman

Data is the new currency of intelligence. In a world where information flows faster than ever, those who can transform raw data into actionable intelligence will shape the future. Feynman represents a fundamental shift toward intelligence platforms that don't just collect information, but truly understand it. Stratir is building tools for a future where data-driven decision-making becomes the standard, not the exception.
