How is sensitive data protected?

All documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. A GDPR anonymization layer removes PII before any AI processing. Hosted on Vercel + Supabase (both SOC 2 Type II); Decision Intel’s own product-level audit is targeted for Q4 2026.

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 or a general AI assistant?

ChatGPT gives one opinion from one model: ungoverned, untraceable, unaudited. Decision Intel is the reasoning audit platform. Most tools audit your data; we audit your reasoning — and catch the fatal blind spots in strategic memos before the committee does. It measures the noise in your reasoning the same way Kahneman did in the insurance underwriter study, simulates an AI boardroom of CEO, CFO, and board personas, runs what-if interventions against a 143-case public reference library, and compounds every confirmed outcome back into a calibrated Decision Quality Index your audit committee can defend. Not a chatbot; a reasoning audit, checkable from memo to outcome.

Which cognitive biases caused Google's collapse?

5 bias patterns are documented in this case, led by Overconfidence Bias. The full set: Overconfidence Bias, Planning Fallacy, Anchoring Bias, Optimism Bias, Framing Effect. Each is mapped to Decision Intel's 22-bias R²F taxonomy with stable IDs and academic citations.

What is Decision Intel's reasoning audit?

Decision Intel runs a 12-node Recognition-Rigor Framework (R²F) pipeline on strategic memos, detecting cognitive biases from a 22-bias canonical taxonomy and producing a Decision Quality Index (DQI) score. The audit produces a hashed, tamper-evident Decision Provenance Record (DPR) suitable for audit-committee review.

Decision Quality Index (simulated)

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.

!Optimism Trap

Overconfidence and availability bias create a systematically positive outlook that ignores base rates.

!Blind Sprint

Overconfidence combined with planning fallacy creates unstoppable momentum toward failure.

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
