Dr. Alfred Latigo, Founder & Chief Innovation Architect. He is a development economist, gender analytics pioneer, and environmental economic modeler with 45+ years of international development experience spanning FAO, the UN Economic Commission for Africa, the World Bank, and the African Development Bank (AfDB). ScaleX Labs LLC — a Delaware-incorporated AI innovation company building responsible AI tools for global development, purpose-designed for the Global South. What distinguishes Dr. Latigo from other AI development practitioners is not that he learned AI and applied it to development. It is that he spent five decades building the actual predecessor instruments — "Green" Economic Models linking GHG emissions to GDP, Gender-inclusive Micro-Macroeconomic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Models, Results Measurement Frameworks, and Gender Transformative Measuring Tools — that ScaleX Labs now scales through AI. Every platform has a proven analogue that Dr. Latigo built by hand, at institutional scale, under real field conditions, for real funders. His leadership philosophy: “AI must strengthen professional judgment — not replace it.” ScaleX Labs was born out of a desire to simplify complexity in global development while remaining inclusive, ethical, and futuristic.
ScaleX Labs is the commercial evolution of the following methodology developed, tested, and institutionalized across 4+ decades of multilateral development work. It bridges technical rigor, policy influence, and Responsible AI innovation. • 𝑇𝑤𝑜 "𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛" 𝐸𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐺𝐻𝐺 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 and 𝐸𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝐺𝐷𝑃 • 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟-𝐴𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑐𝑟𝑜-𝑀𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑢𝑚 (𝐶𝐺𝐸) 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙s • 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑑𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙 • 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑜𝑜𝑙 (𝐺𝑇𝑀𝑇) • 𝑆𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 & 𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐴𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙 (𝑆𝑅𝐴𝑀)

About Us

ScaleX Labs is a global research and innovation hub at the intersection of technology, social impact, and global change.

Our mission is clear: too many brilliant development ideas fail because they lack the right tools, visibility, funding, and access to Responsible AI systems. ScaleX Labs exists to close that gap.

Partner With Us

ScaleX Labs Academy — Responsible AI Capacity-Building for the Global South Development Workforce What is ready. The Responsible AI training curriculum underlying the Academy is complete. The methodology it teaches — gender-transformative measurement, Results Measurement Framework application, bankable proposal design, scalability and replicability analysis, and Responsible AI principles for development effectiveness — has been delivered through structured capacity-building programmes between 2021 and 2025. The Academy's pedagogical architecture is built on three principles: that adult professionals learn best when training is anchored in the methodologies they will use in the field; that capacity-building must be bilingual and culturally calibrated to Global South contexts; and that AI literacy is not optional for the next generation of development practitioners. What is coming. The Academy will launch in the second half of 2026 as a digital-first learning environment combining live mentorship from leading practitioners with self-paced certification modules and access to a curated methodology library. Two flagship certification programmes are in preparation: Responsible AI: From Zero to Certified (a six-week beginner programme) and Responsible AI: Foundations to Practice (a four-week advanced programme for senior MEL, gender, and grants specialists). The Academy uses the three other ScaleX Labs platforms — the AI-Powered MEL System, GrantIQ, and GenTraQ — as the live learning environment, so that practitioners learn the methodology by using the tools they will deploy in their own programmes. Bilingual English and French delivery at launch, with Arabic and Portuguese localisation on the roadmap.
