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.

Decision Quality Index

Critical — 5 biases detected, 2 toxic combinations

After 22 years of development and $6.9B spent, the U.S. Army cancelled the RAH-66 Comanche stealth reconnaissance helicopter without producing a single operational aircraft. Requirements changed repeatedly, and the program survived through continuous congressional support despite failing to deliver.

Decision context

Whether to continue funding a program that had been in development for two decades, consumed $6.9B, and still had no production-ready aircraft.

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.

Sunk cost fallacy in defense procurement: each year's investment made cancellation seem more wasteful than continuation
Requirements creep over 22 years meant the original mission need evolved while the program tried to hit a moving target
Status quo bias: the program survived annual budget reviews because cancelling it required active political courage while continuing it was the default
