Most futurists never get graded. I decided to grade myself.
Over twenty years, I stood on stages around the world and told entire industries what was coming next. Those predictions are all still sitting in my archive — time-stamped, in public, impossible to quietly revise. So I went back and marked them, one industry at a time. The hits, the misses, and the ones where I was right about the direction but too optimistic about the speed.
Ten industries. A golf special. No cherry-picking. The pattern that emerged surprised even me: the technology curve is predictable — the friction is not. Start with the introduction to see the method, or jump straight to your industry. Then read the Final Verdict for what twenty years of being graded actually taught me.
