DECISION REVIEW · FOR OWNERS, CEOs & INVESTORS OF $10M–$1B+ COMPANIES
Before you commit, know what the decision depends on.
A hire, a system, an AI rollout, a fix, an acquisition or a sale. Money, capacity and management attention are about to move. A Decision Review is 30 minutes to examine what the case rests on, before the commitment is made.

WHAT YOU BRING
Bring the decision in front of you.
The question you're weighing is the agenda. Behind each one is a second question that decides whether the money works.
Is the constraint people, or what the people are waiting on?
Where are the gains supposed to land, and what has to change for them to arrive?
Is the problem where it appears, or does it begin somewhere upstream?
Will added capacity become output, or only more cost?
Which assumptions behind the value are supported, and which remain unproven?
What will a buyer pay for, and what will they discount?
No decision yet? Margins slipping, work waiting on the same few people, or growth that made the company harder to run are reasons to request one too.
THE LENS
Your numbers show the result. This lens looks at what produces it.
A financial review starts with results. An operating review starts with people and process. A Decision Review starts in between, with one question: does what you pay for convert into value, and where does it stop?
- Paid capacity
- Usable capacity
- Delivered output
- Operating profit
- Cash
- Enterprise value
Your decision sits somewhere on this chain. The review finds where, and what has to hold for it to carry through.
Where it appears isn't where it begins.
A margin, capacity or leadership problem may start in pricing, handoffs or decision rights.
The obvious answer gets a fair test.
Sometimes hiring, buying or building is right. The review says so when it is.
No claim beyond the evidence.
Thirty minutes frames the question. It doesn't pretend to answer what only evidence can.
The lens comes from the Business Structural Drag framework and the Renergy™ management framework, developed over two decades and published in field cases, cross-case synthesis and public-company research.
SEE HOW I THINK →WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
Three things to take into the decision.
-
01
The central assumption
What the decision actually depends on, stated plainly.
-
02
An alternative explanation
Another possibility worth examining before you commit money or change the operating model.
-
03
The first evidence to check
What to verify next, and whether deeper work is warranted, including when it isn't.
What it isn't A starting conversation, not a diagnosis.
It isn't a working session, a structural diagnosis or a transaction evaluation. If deeper work makes sense, the options are a 90-minute Executive Working Session, a Focused or Comprehensive Executive Intervention, structural work or an M&A Assessment. Or no further work at all.
REQUEST A DECISION REVIEW
A few sentences are enough.
What are you deciding? What's at stake? By when?
A hire, a system, an AI rollout, an operating fix, an acquisition, a sale or an integration. Or a problem that hasn't become a decision yet. You don't need a polished brief.
If I believe there's a meaningful way I can help, I'll tell you. If I don't, I'll tell you that too.
