Decision Intelligence in Practice
Five realistic, professional case studies demonstrating how timing judgment works across different decision types and business contexts.
Disclaimer
These examples demonstrate how Decision Intelligence evaluates timing — not advice, not guarantees, and not endorsements of the decisions made. Each case study illustrates a specific principle about timing judgment.
Founder — Product Launch Timing
A Series A SaaS founder navigating the tension between investor windows and operational readiness. The decision was not 'go or no-go,' but 'go when.'
Startup — Senior Leadership Hiring Timing
A growth-stage company needed sales leadership immediately, but the timing wisdom was in the distinction between interim and permanent roles.
SMB Owner — Expansion vs Cash Preservation
A profitable business had a time-limited acquisition opportunity, but the timing constraint was not financial—it was operational maturity.
Executive — Career Transition Timing
A VP of Sales was recruited to become CRO at a high-growth company. The opportunity was real, but the timing would have meant stepping into a role before being ready.
Co-Founders — Partnership & Conflict Resolution
Two co-founders disagreed on strategy. The timing wisdom was not to separate, but to resolve the conflict through structured dialogue first.
