About

Trajectory is an independent publication exploring the forces shaping our world—geopolitics, technology, security, and the complex systems where they intersect.

What we do

We publish long-form analytical articles: clear prose, confident analysis, and insights that go beyond the headlines. Our pieces examine the structural dynamics behind events—not just what is happening, but why it matters and where it leads.

Topics range from great-power competition and energy security to emerging technologies and institutional change. We're interested in the questions that don't have easy answers.

How we work

Trajectory is powered by FractalSense, a semantic topology engine that maps the full landscape of perspectives on complex questions. Rather than filtering sources down to a single viewpoint, FractalSense preserves the complete terrain—mainstream and outlier positions, agreements and tensions, what experts say and what they conspicuously avoid saying.

This approach reveals structure that traditional analysis misses. The relationship between perspectives often matters more than any single perspective alone.

Who we are

Trajectory is published by Malcolm Hammond. The analysis is a collaboration between human editorial judgment and AI-assisted research, combining the depth of machine-scale information gathering with the insight that comes from asking the right questions.
