Seven Disciplines of Overlooked Inquiry
Our departments represent the full spectrum of questions that traditional academia ignores. Each brings rigorous methodology to phenomena most scholars dismiss as trivial.
The oldest department at Sagacity, founded on the premise that language choices reveal psychological truths. We study the fears, performances, and identity signals embedded in everyday speech and writing.
Investigates the unwritten rules governing how humans position themselves in physical space. From queue dynamics to seating patterns, we study the invisible geometry of social proximity.
Studies the mechanisms by which humans navigate, recover from, and occasionally embrace social discomfort. Research areas include premature goodbyes, misheard statements, and the social physics of elevator silence.
Studies threshold moments—the precise instant when one state transitions to another. When does browsing become shopping? When does a break become avoidance? We quantify the liminal.
Examines why humans consistently fail to complete actions, from the last bite of food to the final page of a book. Our research suggests that incompletion is not failure but a fundamental feature of human behavior.
Investigates how humans experience time subjectively. Why do some days feel longer? Why does 'five minutes' never mean five minutes? Our research bridges physics and psychology.
Our newest department focuses on the timing of human communication. Why do we wait to reply? What do our delays signal? How has technology changed the meaning of silence?
