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, 1 toxic combinations

Juicero raised $120 million to build a $400 internet-connected juice press that squeezed proprietary pre-packaged fruit pouches. Bloomberg reporters demonstrated the pouches could be squeezed by hand just as effectively, exposing the product as an over-engineered solution to a nonexistent problem.

Decision context

Whether to invest $120 million in a Wi-Fi-connected juicing machine requiring proprietary pouches, rather than validating whether consumers needed or wanted the product.

Lessons learned

Overconfidence in Silicon Valley's "disrupt everything" mentality can lead investors to fund solutions searching for problems.
Planning fallacy in hardware startups is especially dangerous because physical products cannot pivot as easily as software.
Basic product validation (can a human squeeze the pouch by hand?) should precede any significant capital investment.
