One defensible move, before the story runs away with the decision.
Premise Decision Engine

and need a call you can defend in writing.

  • Make the assumptions visible
  • Name the core constraint shaping the call
  • Leave with one Solid Decision Brief you can defend
Private by default. One decision at a time. No pitch.
Bring one live decision into a private
Premise Decision Engine.
Leave with one Solid Decision Brief you can defend.
Private by default
No pitch
No cost for your first decision
If there is no clear value we leave it there
Inside the room
When the numbers look neat but your chest still says wait, the decision is not ready.
This room exists for that moment.
  • We challenge the brief before any move
  • We test the call across eight executive lenses
  • You leave with one Solid Decision Brief and a ninety day path you can defend
Who brings decisions into this room
Written for people who already carry serious decisions.
Fund managers and capital allocators
You sign term sheets and carry the result when a call is wrong. You want one room that tests the foundations so you can defend the call.
Mergers and acquisitions and corporate development
You live between seller story, internal politics, and market reality. You want one Solid Decision Brief that separates story from fact and sets out a coherent path.
Owners and operating leaders
You have a decision this quarter that will move growth, cash, or momentum. You want a small trusted room that challenges the brief instead of another long meeting.
The Premise
425
A private pattern library built from the lived decision habits of 425 founder operators and their teams. Captured over two years of live decisions under pressure and still being refined through ongoing real world work.
Why it matters Your decision is read against these patterns across eight executive lenses.
The room challenges the brief, names the real trade offs, and returns one Solid Decision Brief you can defend, including risks, guardrails, and the next ninety days.
Decisions we work on
Every headline decision sits on foundation decisions. We work on the headline call and the foundations underneath it.
Fund and capital
  • Back a new fund manager
  • Lead or follow the next round
  • Decide pace of deployment in noisy market
Board and leadership
  • Replace a key leader
  • Reset a portfolio chief executive
  • Reframe a board mandate not pulling weight
Acquisition and sale
  • Sell a division
  • Roll up complementary assets
  • Choose strategic sale now or hold for more
Operating and growth
  • Commit to new region or channel
  • Change pricing or packaging
  • Back major product or technology shift
If your decision is not listed, bring it anyway.
What the Premise Decision Engine is
A private C Suite boardroom built for one decision at a time. You do not wait weeks to convene a room. You open your Premise Decision Engine wherever the decision finds you.
Your decision is challenged through eight executive lenses using patterns drawn from the Premise 425.
  1. Frame the live decision
  1. Test reality across the room
  1. Land one coherent path
The difference at a glance
Premise thought
Most AI tools move faster on the brief you give them. The Premise Decision Engine does something different. It challenges the brief before it accelerates it.
Having general AI without a boardroom layer is like putting a calculator on every desk and deciding you no longer need a financial director. The tools still matter. The boardroom decides what the numbers must mean.
How we work with a small group of clients
This is not a software sale. We do not chase volume. Each room is reserved for a small number of clients who already carry serious decisions and want a private place to give those decisions Premise.
One or two new client relationships per month
Direct access to a senior member of our team
You bring the decision, we run the room, you leave with the brief
Private by default
No pitch
This room is not for everyone
Not designed for mass adoption. Built for leaders who already carry decisions that move real money, real teams, and real careers.
We protect the value of this room by being selective and by keeping the work private by default.

If you are still learning how to make high stakes calls, this room will feel premature.
When one decision refuses to leave your chest, this room is built for that moment.
Why this works when the pressure is real
The Premise Decision Engine combines eight executive lenses with patterns drawn from years of real decisions under real pressure.
Eight executive lenses
Eight executive lenses
Numbers, people, timing, risk, and execution sit in the same room.
The Premise 425
Your Solid Decision Brief is shaped by patterns under pressure, not generic output.
Built through live decisions
Refined over years of real decisions with real teams, not lab prompts.
Privacy and trust
Private by default. No recording. No spectators. If the first session is not clearly useful we leave it there. No pitch.
Built on disciplined innovation
Engineered over two years by our lead architect and a six person team.
Our lead architect is an early AI hardware pioneer whose chip level work in the early 1980s received a major innovation award.
Backed by more than 170 years of collective leadership across boardrooms, crises, and growth.
Proof of Thinking
We publish selective examples of how the room reads beneath the surface, reframes the decision at the strategic layer, and produces boardroom grade briefs.

A public headline can look simple. Our room treats it as a live test of incentives, liquidity, and second order effects. The same depth is what we bring to your one live decision.
Five ways to look deeper
For serious visitors who want to look under the hood, the homepage opens five clear doors.
Ready to make one defensible call
When one decision will shape a year of growth, cash, or momentum, you do not need more noise.
You need one room that can hold the full weight of that call then return one clear move you can defend.
Private by default
One decision at a time
No pitch
No cost for your first decision
If there is no clear value we leave it there
Clarity you can put your name on
A call you can put your name on, because the assumptions are written down.
