Your judgement.
As a model that belongs to you.

Two minutes a day, for thirty days. After that, your thinking exists as a queryable model: for your successors, your board, your family — and for yourself. Not a report. A counterpart.

30 yearsof think-tank practice behind the method

Two sums add up:
your own, and your organisation's.

A Mind Model is not a monument and not coaching. It is an asset that serves two beneficiaries — you personally, and the organisation that lives on your judgement.

For you personally

What you know finally becomes property.

  • 01Your knowledge becomes an asset, not hearsay.Transferable, licensable, inheritable like other intangible assets — contractually fixed, in your ownership.
  • 02You can be consulted without being in the room.Successors, advisory board and family query your judgement without burdening your calendar — today and in twenty years.
  • 03You test yourself against yourself.The sharpest sparring partner is your own standard: where do you deviate from your own rules today — growth or drift?
  • 04Your life's work takes a form that outlasts it.Memoirs tell what you did. Your model preserves how you thought.

Effort: 2 minutes a day · result after 30 days

For your organisation

Judgement that does not leave with a person.

  • 01Succession without a break in knowledge.In every transition, experience evaporates. The model keeps it within reach — evidenced, queryable, verifiable.
  • 02Boards get a written second opinion.Every deal memo runs through the model before the meeting: approval, concerns — and the experience episode the concern comes from.
  • 03Onboarding in days, not quarters.New board members and executives ask how the firm decided in 2009, 2020 and 2023 — context before the first meeting.
  • 04In a sale, the judgement becomes part of the asset.With the company, the buyer receives the former owner's judgement model — the knowledge transfer that otherwise takes years of consulting contract.

Usable in dialogue, via API and through open standards (MCP)

One graduating class.
A thousand models of their own.

Imagine a university that sends its graduates off not only with a diploma, but with a model of their own thinking — started on graduation day, grown over an entire career.

  • For the graduate: her own judgement documented from the start — and an instrument that learns with her instead of replacing her.
  • For the institution: an alumni bond no newsletter list can replace, and visible proof of AI literacy — see Art. 4 of the EU AI Act.
  • For the organisation: the judgement of departing professors, executives and master craftsmen, secured before it leaves.
A wide hall against the light — symbol of a graduating class

Four steps. You deliver one of them.

  1. Step 01

    Set the domain

    One phone call, fifteen minutes: which judgement do we retrieve first? Your core field, where your experience is densest. Find out for yourself in advance — 4 minutes

  2. Step 02 · Days 1–30

    One question a day

    On your phone, whenever it suits — typed or spoken. Each question builds adaptively on your previous answers.

  3. Step 03 · in parallel

    We model

    Episodes become patterns: heuristics, decision rules, thresholds, edge cases — each with its source reference.

  4. Step 04 · from day 30

    Handover

    Knowledge base, dialogue instance, interfaces and dossier go to you. Plus one hour of debrief, together.

The first who did it.

Andreas Bahners — holder of the first Mind Model

“For thirty days I answered one question a day, usually by voice message between two appointments. At the end, a document lay in front of me naming the rules I have been deciding by for decades — without ever having put them into words.”

Andreas Bahners · Pioneer — the first Mind Model

His model emerged from 100 answers on 28 of 30 days, 60 voice messages, 10,018 words — 14 of the 30 cases discussed were real, ongoing proceedings. The result: a 35-page dossier, ten findings, a set of figures.

Three entry points. Clear prices.

No sales rhetoric: here are the numbers. What each includes in detail is on the respective pages.

Christopher Peterka — inventor of the mindmodels method
Christopher Peterka LinkedIn ↗

The method carries a name: Christopher Peterka.

Founder and managing director of the gannaca think tank (Cologne), in documented foresight and advisory work for decision-makers in mid-sized companies, foundations, governments and NGOs since 1996. He asks every question in your sequence himself, and reads every answer himself.

mindmodels is proprietary intellectual property. Every application of the method is carried out exclusively by gannaca — personally accountable: its inventor.

“The most valuable resource of the coming decade is not compute. It is crystallised judgement — and it is leaving us weekly, with every retirement, irretrievably. I was not willing to accept that.”

Two ways in — one costs €490, the other a conversation.

The Probe is the small proof in seven days, fully credited towards Tier I. The mandate is the whole way: 30 days, one model, your property. For universities and organisations there is the Cohort Programme.
