We deliberately have to break conventional business communication patterns because conventional thinking created the problems you're trying to solve. Complex challenges require minds that can think beyond quarterly autopilot mode. This is the reason the Alchemy Lab may confuse you at first – it is its very purpose...
The Alchemy Lab
A Different Kind of Laboratory
A lot of what we explore here may seem abstract, unfocused, unsuited to immediately save your plunging next quarter results. Well, forget that quarterly result sheet – it died long ago. Here lies a collection of abstract ideas that may hold the keys to extraordinary future outcomes.
Corporates navigating through culture and complexity should take time to think about it.
It’s like the meditation wisdom: “Everybody should meditate for 10 minutes a day, except when you have no time, then you should take at least one hour.”
Or the endless variations on Lincoln’s axe-sharpening truth: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”
Take your time. Be our guest. Let insights on smart business opportunities emerge naturally.
The experiments here are something like a relaxing fireside for the mind…
The Lab Philosophy: In a world obsessed with immediate returns, we create spaces for ideas to emerge, mature, and transform into competitive advantages that others can’t replicate.
Welcome to where strange things happen, and ideas find their time to grow.
Interactive Business Simulations
Experience Before You Invest
Sit by our digital fireside and watch complexity reveal its patterns through play. These aren’t just games – they’re fun to watch and play with but also contemplative spaces where business truths emerge through interaction.
Cost-of-Delay Estimator (CoDE) saving money is not mandatory – however, it is always OK to know how much skin you have in the game.

Digital Archaeology & Time Travel
Transforming Legacy Into Leverage
Sometimes the future is hidden in the past. Our archaeological expeditions reveal how technologies and ideas, can be resurrected and transformed when viewed through fresh eyes.
This AI-generated pixel art, post-processed in Photoshop, is a 2025 homage to the 1983 C64 game Moon Patrol, which inspired my early IT career. The image features a lunar buggy traversing a moonscape with jagged peaks and a distant Earth in the sky, capturing the retro aesthetic of 1980s gaming. This artwork reflects my journey from a hacker to a producer of three Amiga games during university, blending nostalgia with modern creativity to celebrate the roots of my professional path. Excalibur was my cracker handle 😉

Create your own at Midjourney with this prompt: A cyberpunk phoenix rising from the ashes of burned corporate frameworks and PowerPoint slides, its wings made of flowing data streams and decision trees, eyes glowing with brutal clarity, background showing the transformation from chaos to elegant simplicity, neon accent lights, hyperdetailed, cinematic composition
Phoenix is such a great metaphor, it is the only thing in this universe on our mind, that actively violates the second law of thermodynamics. This is what we aim for when fighting entropy – local negentropy bubbles of excellence.
