• alembicis - from alembicum (Medieval Latin), itself derived from al-anbaq (Classical Arabic), yet in turn derived from the (Ancient) Greek word 'ambix' … 

These terms form the basis of the old English word alembic, a classical 'distillation apparatus' that purified substances for maximum potency by separating volatile components from stable ones.

This ancient distillation process required creative, out-of-the-box thinking to conceptualize the range of potential outcomes, deft technical skill, a deep analytical knowledge of the relevant science, a strategic understanding of differing environmental conditions affecting the process itself and a keen attention to detail—all so as to render an impure, raw substance purified, or to stabilize a previously volatile substance.  Ultimately, the intended strategic outcome drives the technical process, as the very same substances could be manipulated to yield very different end results. 

For Alembicis, LLC, 'strategy' is both an art and a science:  in the final analysis, raw and seemingly ambiguous information is carefully distilled into actionable intelligence that is opportunistically deployed for the intended strategic outcome.

Alembicis, LLC works with its private sector clients to anticipate, identify and strategically help mitigate complex types of nuanced risks from private business arrangements with an international character.  With our public sector clients, Alembicis, LLC helps governments anticipate and diplomatically maneuver around geopolitical challenges to better achieve strategic international economic policy objectives, yet still remain compliant with international regulatory obligations.
