San Francisco headquarters
OpenAI
The essay below is a plain-language reading of a chart calculated from 2024 and an illustrative facing of 95°. Nobody took a compass to the front door. It is not a revenue forecast and it is not investment advice.
The building
The company's San Francisco headquarters sits on a dense city block, with streets on several sides. In this system, moving streets act like water: good for reputation, restless for focus. The building is treated as facing east, so the front is the public side and the back is the west.
The people inside
The front of the building carries two helpful energies, so the public face is bright. The east side, where the building faces, holds the helpful energy of reputation and the new era, and the same helpful energy for money. The southeast side has the energy of work that moves, travel, and clever planning, and the helpful prosperity energy. The interior, however, gets no such automatic support. The center has the energy of illness, tiredness, and things that slowly go wrong, and the energy of gossip, leaks, broken equipment, and money that slips. The west back has the energy of accidents, stalled plans, and the heaviest kind of trouble in this system. So the back of the house needs real, practical backing—not just nice words.
Money and reputation
In the short term, the bright front can attract attention and reputation, especially through the east and southeast sides. Work that moves, travel, and clever planning are favored on the southeast. But the center and west carry heavier energies: tiredness, slow failures, gossip, leaks, and stalled plans. The south side is where plans stall, which can stir conflict. The northeast has the energy of accidents and stalled plans, and the north has the energy of illness and tiredness, so those areas need quiet, solid use. Over time, the helpful front energies can support visibility and new-era reputation, but only if the interior and back are actively managed.
What to do
This is not investment advice. Use the east and southeast for public-facing work, reception, and any activity that benefits from reputation and movement. Keep the center and west calm and uncluttered; put storage, utilities, or back-office functions there, not key decision-makers. In the south, reduce arguments by setting clear decision rules and avoiding rushed meetings. In the northeast and north, avoid placing fragile equipment or sick employees; use those areas for slow, routine tasks or storage. Since no birth date was given, do not assign personal directions. Treat this as a demonstration reading, not a substitute for a real site visit.

The essay is the part to read. This grid is the worksheet behind it: three numbers in each square, for the people, the era, then money and visitors. North is at the top. You can follow the writing without the numbers.
Demonstration only. Facings are not door surveys. Nothing on this page is financial, legal, or investment advice.
