Capital Shield is transforming how organisations prepare for high-consequence risk through AI-powered crisis simulation.

Our mission
We live in a rapidly changing world. The challenges we face are becoming more complex, interconnected, and unpredictable. We believe organisations need to be better prepared.
The platform
Pilots don't read manuals. They practice in a flight simulator that mimics the real conditions, pressure, and uncertainty they’ll face in the cockpit. _Foresight_ does the same for your executives.
Simulation engine
Intelligence, news, messages and calls change with every decision your team makes. AI actors play the adversary, the regulator, the journalist and the public, while your facilitators keep control of the pace.
Post-exercise intelligence
Every decision, communication and delay, mapped against your own plans and standards. Performance is examined on the record, not on opinion.
01
Executive and board exercises for the disruptions that test the whole business: outbreaks, outages, cyber attacks and supplier failure.

Case studies
Corporate crisis management
A poultry producer's leadership team works through an avian influenza outbreak in a single half-day.
Inside Avian Shield
Strategic wargaming
Hybrid attacks escalate into an invasion of Lithuania. Germany's security cabinet must decide on Article 5.
Inside Ernstfall
Whole-of-government coordination
A submarine misses a communications check-in. Sixty officers coordinate the national response.
Inside Datum
Humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
A catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami and continuing aftershocks force emerging regional leaders to coordinate relief while navigating diplomacy and national interests.
Inside Dawn Wave
National security education
196 students, two weeks, a Pacific island state in crisis. 97% rated it among their best experiences at university.
Inside Hard Shell
Intelligence collection and analysis
A tsunami, an assassination plot, a cyber attack and a great-power crisis arrived together. Participants triaged disinformation and open-source intelligence while a recurring cast of agentic actors pressed them for decisions.
Inside Honeypots and Overcoats
Wildfire readiness
Incident management teams test their coordination against a fire that will not wait for peak season.
Inside Red Horizon
Whole-of-government national security
A contested election becomes civil unrest. Civil unrest becomes a regional crisis. Then foreign naval forces arrive.
Inside Pacific Breakpoint
Financial services operational resilience
A severe-but-plausible disruption asked one question: can the organisation keep its critical operations running? Leaders decided what to protect, when to escalate and how to communicate as uncertainty grew.
Inside Counterparty
How it works
01 / 03
Step into a scenario that reacts to you. The situation escalates, the media are live, stakeholder demands shift by the hour and AI actors pursue agendas of their own.
02 / 03
See how your team interprets information, coordinates and acts under pressure. Every decision and communication is captured as a record of performance.
03 / 03
Turn the record into a plan with owners and a date to test again. Run the next exercise without rebuilding the first.
In their words
Foresight represents a step-change in how we prepare leaders for the realities of modern crises.
By far the most advanced exercise I have taken part in. The after-action debrief was what consolidated what we had learned.
Far more engaging and realistic than other simulations I have participated in. It gave me more agency and felt strikingly similar to the workplace.
Previous crisis simulations ran over Zoom with a far less sophisticated flow of information. Foresight made it feel real.
Someone shouted 'check the news' and we all rushed to see what had happened, mid-negotiation. It was a great experience.
Making decisions is crucial, but it is equally important not to lose your head. Your team is your asset.
It just felt extraordinarily interactive. I felt like I was really the role I was meant to play.
The Foresight simulation enabled me to participate in real time setting of a given crisis that gives me a real life test of what it can look like during a crisis when you are in the office.

In one conversation we will walk you through the platform, suggest a first scenario and recommend the right level of support.
