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.

Excellent — 4 biases detected

By 2003, LEGO was losing $1 million per day and approaching bankruptcy after a decade of unfocused diversification into theme parks, clothing lines, and video games. New CEO Jørgen Vig Knudstorp (promoted from within at age 35) made the radical decision to return to the core brick, selling off theme parks, cutting 1/3 of products, and rebuilding around what LEGO uniquely did well. By 2015, LEGO had overtaken Mattel as the world's largest toy company.

Decision context

Whether to continue the diversification strategy that had been pursued for a decade or radically refocus on the core brick product, divesting theme parks, clothing, and other extensions.

Lessons learned

Sunk cost fallacy in the diversification investments was overcome by framing divestitures as "unlocking capital" rather than "admitting failure."
A CEO without personal investment in the failing strategy was essential — internal promotion of a younger leader bypassed the emotional attachment of the executive team.
Engaging the fan community (external advisors) provided unfiltered feedback that confirmed the core product was still beloved — the strategy, not the brand, was the problem.
