About Short Fuse Research

The Future, Unfiltered

Short Fuse is an independent research company covering emerging technology, human behaviour, and the cultural movements forming around them. We produce research, analysis, and commentary on AI and automation, consumer and workplace behaviour, media and platforms, shifting power structures, and the patterns of adoption that decide which technologies actually matter. We dig into the numbers, the narratives, and the nonsense to find what actually matters.

Our work spans original analysis, op-eds, acquisition rating systems, and our Technology Tracker: a live tool mapping how hype and expert conviction evolve across emerging technologies.
