How is sensitive data protected?

All documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. A GDPR anonymization layer removes PII before any AI processing. Your data never leaves our SOC 2 certified infrastructure.

How long does integration take?

Less than 30 minutes. Upload documents directly, connect via OAuth for Slack, or use our REST API for bulk processing.

How does outcome tracking work?

Outcomes are detected automatically from follow-up documents, Slack messages, and web intelligence. You confirm with one click. Each reported outcome makes your future analyses more accurate.

How is Decision Intel different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives one opinion from one model. Decision Intel uses 3 independent judges for noise measurement, a 20×20 bias interaction matrix for compound scoring, 31 domain-specific biases, and an outcome flywheel that gets smarter with every decision.

Critical — 5 biases detected, 2 toxic combinations

Google launched Stadia as a cloud gaming platform in November 2019, promising to disrupt console gaming. It shut down in January 2023, barely 3 years later. Google failed to build a game library, killed its first-party studios within a year of launch, and confused consumers with its pricing model.

Decision context

Whether Google's cloud infrastructure advantage could overcome the content and community advantages of established gaming platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam).

Deep hindsight-stripped analysis coming soon. This case is part of our ongoing backfill to reconstruct what the platform would have flagged at decision time. The summary and bias profile below are drawn from primary sources.

Lessons learned

Overconfidence in infrastructure: cloud computing advantage means nothing without content that gamers want to play
Google's pattern of launching consumer products and abandoning them creates a trust deficit that new products must overcome
Framing Stadia as "the future of gaming" while launching without key features (4K, game library) created an expectations gap
