Hi,

Douglas Albert

!

Conjecture IO has designed an efficient solution to solve outstanding mathematical problems open for decades. They're looking to bring this solution to market - convincing technical audiences to contribute to the network and bit-tensor native audiences to take invest. In this proposal TCS is helping them bring their visual and digital identity to life to bring trust, differentiation and positioning to the organization. We'll be optimizing around three particular aspects:

  1. Storytelling - From the logo, to the launch video each touch-point will communicate a feeling to audience members to want to be involved.

  2. Awareness - Conversion optimized editing will guide larger audiences to learn about the product. 

  3. Credibility - By making intentional choices around social proof (founders, story, result, cleanliness), we will bring trust to the organization.

Project brief

1.1

The Lay of the Land.

1.1.1

Where We Are

Conjecture’s team has designed, built, and tested a breakthrough Bittensor subnet that solves decade-old open mathematical problems using verifiable Lean proofs. However, general awareness and trust of their organization outside of specialized bittensor circles remains very low.

1.1.2

Where Our Ambition Lies

In the short term, Conjecture wants to become understood as the modern "Folding@home" for mathematics. They're hoping to target audiences beyond the traditional crypto circles and highlight the large-scale benefits which an efficient math-solving system can produce.

1.1.3

What is the Gap

A cohesive brand kit and informative launch video introducing Conjecture to a broader technical audience while highlighting the juice (ambitions, capabilities, personnel) of the organization. The visual identity and human-led storytelling will focus on real-world applications of age-old quantum computing and cryptography, stepping away from the current generic AI-generated crypto visuals.
