Decision intelligence

Decisions you can defend.

For the choices you'll have to explain to a board, an auditor or a losing bidder. AI drafts the model, you approve it, and the math decides, with every step on a record anyone can check.

The CEO asks a chatbot which vendor to pick. The vendors wrote their bids with a chatbot. Nobody can say why the winner won.

Language models are fluent, not accountable. Ask the same question twice and you can get two answers, with numbers nobody can trace. That's fine for a first draft. It isn't fine for a $2.4M contract, a capital request or a grant award.

How it works

AI drafts. You approve. The math decides.

Each part does the job it's good at, and nothing more.

01 · DRAFT

Write it the way you'd explain it

Describe the decision in plain words and attach the proposals. The AI pulls out the options, what matters, the hard limits and every figure, each tied to the exact sentence it came from.

02 · APPROVE

You own the model

Lock the criteria before you read the bids. Mark a vendor's claims as claims until they're checked. Every number shows its source; nothing changes without you.

03 · DECIDE

Code does the arithmetic

A simulation runs on your numbers, not a model's guess: which option wins, how sure that is, and the single fact that would change the answer.

Defensible by design

Everything an auditor will ask, answered before they ask.

A tamper-evident audit trail

Every step that shaped the decision is logged and hash-chained: the numbers settled, the files attached, the criteria locked. Edit one entry after the fact and the chain breaks.

Named sign-off, sealed

Reviewers and approvers sign in with their own email and sign the exact proposal, with the numbers frozen inside it. Change anything and the signatures fall away. When every approver approves, it's sealed and read-only.

Conflicts of interest, on the record

Everyone who signs declares their interests or affirms they have none. Each one is ruled on: recused, managed in writing, or immaterial. A late declaration means signing again.

An evidence pack anyone can verify

One file for the board: a readable report plus the record, the trail and every source, each with its fingerprint. Recompute it years later and get the identical answer, without trusting us.

An example

Two ERP bids. One looks cheaper.

  1. The setupA $2.4M hard budget and a 40-week deadline; missing it costs another $600k year on the old system.
  2. On paper, Keystone winsA lower hourly rate, and a 38-week timeline that just fits.
  3. Treat claims as claimsKeystone's numbers are its own promises. Allowing for the uncertainty in them, Northbridge is the safer choice.
  4. Know what would change your mindThe one fact worth checking is Keystone's 38 weeks. Verify it with references and the answer can flip back, so that's where the diligence goes.
  5. Seal itThe CFO approves. A reviewer with family at a bidder is recused. The pack goes to the board with a fingerprint in the minutes.
