Frequently Asked Questions

While each journey is unique, our principles and approach apply universally. Getting to know you and your organization is our very first step and our perspective is born out of Management Science, which is the fundamental mathematical language for how everything moves and interacts. Our mastery of first principles and partnership with practitioners empower us to deliver tailored results for your unique needs.

Yes! Time is our universal currency and it is the perfect unit of measure to unite the quantitative and qualitative parts of our lives. The reason the concept feels strange at first is because we’re used to using money ($) as our unit of measure, and that doesn’t work well for qualitative values (e.g., relationships, beauty, peace, etc.). Using Time, we translate what you, your organization, and your stakeholders value into a holistic plan to build you that future.

It is a ground-breaking interdisciplinary framework Allen spent 4,000+ hours designing that integrates the fields of science, engineering, psychology, philosophy, and others, with the aim to map the human experience in a neutral, measurable, actionable, and empathetic way. We find it fascinating and would love to answer any questions you have about its relevance to you, your organization, or society at large!
