Not a Think Tank.
An Execution Tank.
We step inside broken systems and build what's missing.
We co-design systems with community, test them under real constraints, with real budgets, real communities, and refine them through lived experience, not assumptions.
When a model works, we build the proof so cities and institutions can adopt it without losing the people and values it was built for.
We Prioritize
Circular Economy
Nothing wasted. Everything reimagined. We design closed-loop systems that turn waste into opportunity.
Economic Equity & Cultural Wealth
From workforce pilots to revenue model experiments, we prototype systems that shift how wealth is created, shared, and sustained, with dignity built in.
Resilient Systems & Infrastructure
Local strength. Regional stability. We prototype the food, energy, and civic systems that help communities stay prepared, connected, and in control.
In the Tank
We come on-site and map every recoverable byproduct a business generates then show how to turn it into revenue.
Circular Audit
Sponsor, host, or book an immersive activation built around up-cycling. Brand events, community moments, fundraisers — we can turn any "waste" and byproduct into an experience worth remembering.
Circular Experience
Circular Table: Our Flagship Pilot
"When you are serious about keeping food out of landfill, you are forced to engage with the full circularity of it — not just recovery, but processing, utilization, byproduct capture, and data tracking across the entire pipeline. Feeding people was the output of solving for utilization. The environment was the entry point."
-Val Wimes
The proof is in the numbers.

Up Next in the Tank
Ideas in motion. Conversations started. Funding being explored.
01
Circular Intelligence Routing Tool
A coordination platform to track food surplus, recovery, optimize for highest usage, and routing in real time built so cities know what they have and where it goes to the scrap.
02
Food to Energy Systems
Exploring how organic waste can be converted into decentralized, community-owned energy. Active conversations underway.
03
Sameritan Cities
Predictive Intelligence tool for modeling social system.
04
Sameritan Games
A community event series merging civic problem-solving, physical competition, and creative performance generating measurable local economic impact.
05
Show centering Circular Economy
A storytelling initiative bringing circular economy thinking to screen. In early development with climate media partners.
06
Systems Salons
Deep conversation nights taking popular thoughts and breaking them down into an operational strategy...if possible.
OUR VISION
We hope to not be needed in the next decade.
When communities can run on their own power, we’ve done our job.
Let's Talk
You're here because you want to build something — not commission another report. Here's what we can explore together:
-
Licensing Circular Table for your city, county, or organization
-
Booking a Circular Audit for your food or beverage business
-
Sponsoring or booking an Upcycled Experience
-
Partnering on or funding a pipeline project
-
Bringing your idea to the tank
