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.

Fund investment thesis audit

For VC / PE General Partners

Audit a fund investment thesis before the LP raise — catch Narrative Coherence, Reference-Class Blindness, and Optimism Trap.

Situation

You're raising the next fund. The thesis is the pitch — and it's also the document LPs will hold you accountable to.

Complication

Narrative coherence is the GP killer: a beautifully-coherent thesis attracts capital and locks in a frame that 5-10 years of deployment may not honour. Inside-view dominance compounds when the GP wrote the prior fund and is grading its own paper.

Question

Where does the thesis fail to defend itself against an outside-view reviewer who has never seen this fund's prior performance?

Answer

Decision Intel runs the Recognition-Rigor Framework on the thesis text — narrative coherence detection, 143-case reference library lookup, inside-view dominance flag, validity-class shift for low-validity domains.

How it works

Upload the document

Paste the memo or drop the PDF / DOCX / spreadsheet. The 12-node R²F pipeline runs in ~60 seconds.

Review the audit

Decision Quality Index score, 22-bias R²F detection, named compound failure patterns, and verbatim evidence quotes for every finding.

Read the hardening questions

Each finding ships with an audit-committee-ready hardening question — the specific question a procurement reader would ask if they saw this memo cold.

Strengthen the reasoning

Rewrite the flagged passages with the inline co-edit panel. Get a passage-level DQI delta before re-running the full audit.

Export the Decision Provenance Record

Procurement-grade PDF — hashed + tamper-evident, with the 19-framework regulatory mapping, methodology version, and audit-log trail your audit committee + GC will recognise.

Why this matters

The thesis sets the frame for every IC vote in the next 5-10 years. A flawed thesis compounds across every deal in the fund. The audit catches the patterns the GP wrote in — patterns the GP cannot see because the GP is operating from the inside view by construction.

FAQ

Does this work on a single-thesis or multi-thesis fund?

Both. For multi-thesis funds (e.g. fund of funds, multi-strategy PE), the audit fires per-thesis + flags inconsistency across theses. The Decision Knowledge Graph links related deal artefacts across theses.

How does it handle pan-African / EM fund theses?

The structural assumptions audit applies the EM jurisdiction overlay — Nigeria NDPR + CBN, Kenya CMA, South Africa PoPIA + SARB, WAEMU, Egypt CBE — so a Pan-African thesis is audited against the actual regulatory landscape, not a US-default assumption set.

Will an LP see the audit?

The DPR is your artefact to share or withhold. Most GPs use the audit internally as a pre-LP-deck stress test. Some attach a redacted DPR to the LP data room as a procurement-grade signal — particularly when the LP base is DFI-heavy or audit-committee-driven. It's your call.

What happens after the fund closes?

The thesis becomes the anchor for every IC vote in the deployment cycle. The R²F framework re-applies at each deal stage; the Outcome Gate logs every closed outcome against the original thesis prediction; per-fund Brier calibration sharpens the audit specifically for your fund over time.
