What Second Sight does

Second Sight is a UK-incorporated, privately held SaaS company (founded 2022, Basingstoke) that sells an AI-powered scenario planning platform to executive and strategy audiences. The product combines large language models with a proprietary five-step methodology (Define Question, Moving Factors via the STIRDEEPER environmental scanning framework, Generate Scenarios, Wind Tunneling, Generate Insights) and a structured Scenario Intelligence Matrix covering four scenario archetypes. Feature modules include AI Scenario Planning, Environmental Scanning, Strategic Alerts, Predictive Forecasting, Executive Reports, Multi-Scenario AI, and Wind Tunneling, delivered through a web dashboard that includes a Workshop History artifact store.

The company runs a dual go-to-market. Self-serve product-led growth serves individuals and small teams through three subscription tiers priced in UAE Dirham (Starter AED 499, Professional AED 999, Strategic AED 1,499), with usage caps on strategic questions, generated scenarios, team collaboration, and PDF reports. An enterprise field-sales motion layers on top with a custom-priced Enterprise tier, live demos, and multi-year contracts targeting corporate boards and strategy teams. The platform is localized in English and Arabic and supports eight target personas spanning C-level executives, startup owners, department heads, consultants, legal evaluators, government officials, directors, and PMO.

Second Sight is pre-scale by most measures: 11-50 employees, a single $3 million funding round in June 2023 from Render Capital, 135+ team customers, 1,733 cumulative simulations, and no disclosed revenue, named enterprise logos, partnerships, patents, or regulatory actions. The company explicitly states in its privacy notice that it does not retain any user-provided information, which constrains its ability to build a proprietary data advantage.

Broad incumbents

• Palantir Technologies: Palantir's Foundry and AIP platforms provide enterprise decision intelligence and scenario modeling at scale. While broader than Second Sight's scenario planning focus, it competes directly for enterprise strategic intelligence budgets.
• Anaplan: Anaplan is an established connected planning platform with scenario modeling, financial impact analysis, and what-if planning capabilities targeting enterprise strategy and finance teams — a direct functional analog to Second Sight's scenario planning.
• Bain & Company: Bain runs elite scenario planning engagements for Fortune 500 strategy teams — the exact consulting work Second Sight seeks to automate and democratize. Bain's own AI initiatives also represent direct competitive threat.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey's Strategy & Corporate Finance practice delivers high-end scenario planning engagements, and its QuantumBlack AI arm is embedding scenario intelligence into client offerings — directly competing with Second Sight's value proposition.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): BCG provides scenario planning and strategic foresight services to global enterprises and is investing heavily in AI-enabled strategy tools — both the incumbent model Second Sight disrupts and a future competitor.
• AlphaSense: AlphaSense provides AI-powered market intelligence and research workflow tools to enterprise strategy, consulting, and investment teams — a broad incumbent in the strategic intelligence category Second Sight targets.

Emerging players

• Pigment: Pigment is a fast-growing business planning platform offering AI-augmented scenario modeling and forecasting for finance and strategy teams. It targets the same mid-market and enterprise planning buyer that Second Sight serves.
• Causal: Causal is a scenario modeling and forecasting tool aimed at business teams, offering what-if analysis and financial modeling — overlapping with Second Sight's quantitative scenario and financial impact features.
• Tegus: Tegus (now part of AlphaSense) offers expert-driven market intelligence and qualitative research that complements scenario planning. It serves a similar buy-side strategy and investment professional persona as Second Sight.

Others

• ChatGPT Enterprise (OpenAI): OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise offers general-purpose AI reasoning, research synthesis, and scenario brainstorming capabilities to the same executive audience. As foundation models improve, OpenAI could subsume much of Second Sight's functionality with native scenario tools.
