About HScan11
HScan11 is an exploratory field journal for the edge of the edge, a live record of signals, ideas, and sensemaking experiments focused on next-generation and beyond-next-generation AI.
Each week, David & Matt chart the terrain of early-stage research, ambiguous signals, buried patents, speculative projects, and undercurrents that may one day redefine what’s possible. We share the top five most intriguing scanning hits curated from across the edge of the AI landscape. The name HScan11 nods to Horizon 3+ — the frontier of AI futures that haven’t yet taken shape.
This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s part lab notebook, part conceptual sketchpad, and part radar log, tracking weak signals with curiosity and intent, both manually and with AI. It’s an evolving practice of sensemaking at the margins.
This space will speak to you if you work at the intersection of strategy, research, futures, or innovation.
