Simulate the Future

Run a competitive wargame in an afternoon, not six weeks. Pit your executive team against AI competitors, or let autonomous agents play the whole thing out while you watch the outcomes.

Built for BioPharma, HealthTech, Finance, Energy, Manufacturing and beyond. Ideal for the hedge funds, VCs, investors and founders who need to pressure-test a thesis fast.

Self-serve from $490 per wargame. No procurement. No six-figure contract.

How it works

Four ways to run a wargame

Static workshops become dynamic, evolving simulations. Play it yourself, hand it to the AI, or run it a hundred times.

Human vs. AI Play

Take the helm of the Blue Team yourself. Compete in real time against AI-driven competitors and navigate regulatory curveballs.

Full AI Simulation

Step back entirely. Autonomous agents play the whole wargame zero-touch; ideal for rapid hypothesis testing and unbiased baselines.

AI Adjudication

Remove bias. The AI Adjudicator scores every move against weighted KPIs to reach an objective outcome each round.

Monte Carlo Batching

Run the same simulation 100 times in parallel to build a statistical probability map of success versus failure.

Buy vs. build

Thinking about wiring this up yourself?

Chaining a few agents together is the easy 20%. The hard 80% is the part that decides whether a wargame is trustworthy, and it never stops needing maintenance.

Build it internally

  • 3+ months of scarce engineering time before the first usable run
  • Adjudication logic you have to design, calibrate, and defend to skeptics
  • Agent personas and datapacks built from scratch, per scenario
  • Batching, eval and cost controls to build and babysit
  • Every model release is your team's problem to re-test

Run it on LucidWargames

  • Your first wargame today! Free, no setup
  • Adjudication that's already calibrated and explainable
  • Reusable persona libraries and datapack tooling built in
  • Monte Carlo and Variants batching. Spend controls out of the box
  • We track the frontier models so you don't have to

Prefer full control? Bring your own API key on any plan and run on the models you already trust.

Built for Complexity.
Across Any Sector.

Forged in the high-stakes world of BioPharma, the engine is agnostic. Where there's competition, regulation, and uncertainty, we can simulate it.

BioPharma & HealthTech

Simulate Loss of Exclusivity, new class entries, reimbursement, and payer negotiations.

Finance, VC & Startups

Stress-test merger synergies, market entry, and investment thesis validation.

Energy & Manufacturing

Model supply chain disruptions, regulatory shifts, and competitive industrial strategy.

Pricing

Start with one wargame. Scale when it earns it.

Pay per wargame, subscribe your team, or hand the whole thing to us. The software is self-serve; human facilitation is an option, not a requirement.

Spark, Team and Pro are self-serve software; you can run wargames entirely on your own. LucidQuest handles onboarding and setup on every plan, and can take on deeper research (persona building, datapack creation, scenario design) as a priced add-on whenever you want it.
