Open source infrastructure for economic simulation

Society,
in silico.

We simulate the economy. Household by household. Tax by tax. Policy by policy. Open source infrastructure. APIs for the rest.

Why

The coordination problem.

Tax policy affects every household, every business, every investment decision. Yet the models used to evaluate it are closed, aggregate, and unvalidated. Legislators vote on trillion-dollar bills scored by black boxes. Financial firms price risk with models they can't inspect. Researchers publish with data they can't share.

The result is society-wide miscoordination. Not because people disagree on values — but because they can't agree on facts. Every institution builds its own partial model, none of them interoperate, and the gaps between them are where bad policy hides.

Cosilico is the shared substrate. A simulation everyone can query, so decisions are grounded in the same reality.
