Successors

Graduates and young specialists for the first triads

You finished a good university and cannot find a first real job — or you work outside your field. In a triad you solve a real task for a real company beside one of the best experts in the field, and leave with proof of what you can do.

Apply

Experts

People with decades of practice who feel their knowledge should not leave with them

Twenty or more years in one field, in any of the twelve or beyond. If you have ever thought “nobody will know this after me” — write to us. We will tell you honestly whether a counterpart can hold what you know, and on what terms it stays yours.

Thank you. We read every application ourselves.

Expect an answer from info@jasaresearch.com within two weeks. If your field is not on our list, this is exactly how new triads begin.

The challenge

A talent gap in a changing world

Three generations are being pushed apart by the same technology. We think it can pull them together.

Students

Graduate from good universities and cannot find a first job

High expectations, fewer entry-level roles, no real-world experience to show.

Young specialists

Work outside their field because AI took the routine

The positions where people used to learn the craft are disappearing first.

Experienced professionals

Face age bias while holding the knowledge nobody wrote down

Decades of judgment leave with them, and the organisation finds out too late.

The turn

Different generations. Different strengths. Put them in one room with the right technology, and the gap becomes an advantage.

What we believe

Technology in the right hands is only help

Not instead of you. With you.

Human and artificial intelligence complement each other. One holds judgment, context and care; the other holds memory, speed and patience. JASA is built on the overlap, not the replacement.

We prepare people for what is coming.

Every participant leaves a triad knowing how to work beside an AI counterpart: what to trust, what to check, how to make it better. That is the skill the next decade will ask for.

Knowledge stays with the person who holds it.

A counterpart belongs to its expert. It is built with consent, validated by them, and used on their terms. Expertise is amplified, never extracted.

Three intelligences

Where they overlap, something new appears

Human intelligenceDecades of practice: cases, decisions, mistakes, and the judgment that is never written down.

Artificial intelligenceA counterpart built from that practice, answering as its person would and saying so when it would not know.

Collective intelligenceWhat three generations and their counterparts produce together that none of them could alone.

The programme in three movements

Understand · Evolve · Create

Understand

Neuropsychology of expertise

How experienced people actually think, decide and feel inside their field, and how much of it can be made explicit.

Evolve

The digital counterpart

An expert judgment model: how one person sees, decides and doubts in their field — recorded, validated by that person, growing with every conversation.

Create

Real-world action

Triads working on real problems, turning captured potential into products, decisions and new ventures.

The working unit

Three people, one mind

Experience, fresh knowledge and commercial sense usually live in three different people. We study them as one.

Experienced expertTwenty or more years of practice in one field. Brings the cases, decisions and mistakes that are not in any textbook.

Emerging specialistA recent graduate or early-career professional. Brings current methods, tools, and the questions the field has stopped asking.

Business mindSomeone who turns knowledge into a product, a service or a decision. Keeps the unit pointed at a real problem.

CounterpartBuilt from the expert judgment model recorded in the triad and validated by its members. The full protocol is shared with research partners under agreement.

Where we are forming triads first

Twelve fields

Chosen where expertise is deepest, the generation gap widest, and the need most immediate.

Industrial construction

Plants, infrastructure, large sites. The judgment of a chief engineer, kept before it retires.

Mining & energy

The backbone of the region's economy, where a generation of specialists is leaving at once.

Retail & trade

Thirty years of knowing what people will buy, from whom, and at what price, before the data says so.

Mind & well-being

Where contemplative traditions and classical neuropsychology meet: practice that works, explained by science.

Software & AI engineering

The field that changes fastest, where senior judgment and junior tools need each other most.

Design & creative practice

Product, interior, brand and advertising. Taste is the most tacit knowledge there is: it passes only by working beside someone who has it.

Healthcare & clinical practice

The diagnostic instinct of a physician with thirty years of patients, made available to the one with three.

Logistics & transport

Which corridor, which carrier, which season. A region that lives on transit, and a generation of railway, customs and freight people who know it by heart.

Law & regulation

How a senior partner reads a contract, where they expect trouble, how they negotiate. Tax and regulatory judgment included; legal advice is not what a counterpart gives.

Agriculture & land

Field, herd, water and weather. An agronomist reads the land by thirty seasons; it is not taught, it is stood next to.

Education

The teacher who knows which child is about to give up, the lecturer who knows what the syllabus leaves out. Thirty years in a classroom, kept for the next thirty.

Public service & governance

How a decision actually gets made, which door to knock on, where a reform breaks. Judgment that leaves with every change of staff.

Your field is not on the list? Propose your own triad — an expert, a successor and one real problem are enough to start.

Programme

Six parts, one method

Methodology

Sixteen structured sessions over eight weeks, led by a methodologist and built on cognitive task analysis, concept mapping, repertory grids and, in visual fields, eye-tracking. Measured by counterpart accuracy as judged by the expert, and by the successor's progress.

Active

Counterpart study

How closely a counterpart answers as its expert would, measured by the expert. The programme's central metric.

Open

For emerging specialists

Join a triad

We invite recent graduates and early-career specialists, 22 to 28, to work for eight weeks alongside an expert with decades of practice and a business lead, on one real problem in one of the twelve fields.

What you get

A paid place, not an internship for exposure.
Direct work with a senior practitioner in your field, not a lecture.
A documented case with your name on it, and a reference from the programme.
First-hand experience of how a counterpart is built and tested.
A path into the ventures that grow out of the programme.

What we ask

A degree or equivalent practice in your field, finished within the last five years.
Russian or English; both is better.
Eight weeks, roughly fifteen hours a week, mostly remote.
Curiosity about how people older than you actually think.

How to apply

Fill in the form: your field, where you studied, and one paragraph on a problem in your field you think is solved badly. Three lines are enough.

Go to the form

We read everything and reply within two weeks. Places are limited by the number of triads we can run with care.

After the triad

What you leave with

A triad lasts eight weeks. What each of its three sides keeps afterwards is verifiable, carries a name, and stays theirs.

Expert

Your judgment, kept — and still yours

An expert judgment model built from your own words and checked by you — a counterpart that answers the way you would and says when it does not know.
Three sources of income, set in writing: a fee for the sessions themselves; a share of the contract when a company commissions your triad; and a royalty each time your counterpart is used — for as long as it is used, and inheritable.
A licence, not a sale. The model remains yours: you decide who may use it and for what, and you can withdraw it.
Cases are anonymised. Where your employer's or a client's consent is needed, we obtain it before we begin.
A public expert page on jasaresearch.com — your field, your years, your successors — to share with colleagues and family.
Successors who learned from you, not from a manual.

JASA Expert · certificateA signed record of what was preserved, with a verification link.

Successor

Verified experience, with your name on it

The eight weeks are paid — by the company whose problem the triad solves — and are built to end in a job offer from it.
A documented case with your name: the problem, what you did, what the expert said about it.
A reference from the programme and, where the partner agrees, from the company.
Eight weeks beside a senior practitioner — the apprenticeship a degree does not include.
First call for roles in the ventures that grow out of the programme.

Company

A solved problem and a person who can solve the next

One real problem worked through to a decision, with the reasoning documented.
A young specialist who already knows your case, your people and your expert's way of thinking.
Access to the expert's counterpart on terms agreed with the expert — before the knowledge leaves the building.
A field case you may publish with us, or keep.

Research & discoveries

What the world is learning this week

A weekly digest of new research on expertise, human-AI collaboration and intergenerational work, selected by JASA's research agent and reviewed by the team.

The first digest is being prepared. New entries appear here every week.

The words we use

A short vocabulary of JASA

Triad: A working unit of three people from three generations: an experienced expert, an emerging specialist and a business mind, formed around one real problem for eight weeks.
Counterpart: An AI counterpart built from one person's expert judgment model and validated by that person. It answers as they would, says when it would not know, and belongs to them.
Expert judgment model: A structured record of how one expert sees, decides and doubts: what they notice first, where their thresholds lie, what they do when unsure. The source from which a counterpart is built, and the form in which experts of one field can be compared.
Discernment: The part of expertise that is seeing rather than knowing: recognising a situation before it can be explained. The textbook holds the knowledge; discernment is what JASA records.
Experienced expert: A practitioner with twenty or more years in one field. The source of judgment that no textbook contains.
Emerging specialist: A recent graduate or early-career professional, usually 22 to 28. The source of current methods and of questions the field has stopped asking.
Business mind: The member of a triad who turns knowledge into a product, a service or a decision, and keeps the unit pointed at the real problem.
Collective intelligence: What triads and their counterparts produce together over time: solutions that cross fields and could not have come from any single member.
Structured conversation: JASA's method of drawing out an expert's judgment: sixteen sessions built on cognitive task analysis (CDM, ACTA), concept mapping, repertory grids and think-aloud, with eye-tracking where the work is visual. The full protocol is shared with research partners under agreement.
Counterpart accuracy: The share of a counterpart's answers that its expert recognises as their own, measured on a fixed set of questions. The programme's central metric.
Field case: A real problem from one of the twelve fields, worked on by a triad and documented as it is solved, published only with the partner's consent.
Fellowship: The eight-week place of an emerging specialist in a triad: what they do, what they learn, and the documented case they take with them.

About

A programme, not yet an institution

JASA started as a family question: what happens to what we know when we stop working. It is run from Astana and London by a founding team with twenty years in business, a decade in psychology and human behaviour, and a neuroscientist of the next generation. The programme is independent and funded by its founders in its first phase — a deliberate choice.

We are open to conversation with researchers in cognitive science, knowledge management and human-AI collaboration, and with organisations whose expertise is about to retire.

Programme & methodologyDesign of the structured conversation, selection of experts, direction of the studies.

Science & measurementValidation protocol for counterparts, study design, academic partnerships.

Field & partnersIndustry access, partner organisations, the ventures that follow the research.

Different journeys. A shared future.

A more human future, created together.
