Decision Intelligence
Pre-Act runs structured pre-mortems on the decisions that actually matter. Surface hidden risks, stress-test your plan, and track which warnings come true over time.
They come from decisions made too quickly, with too little thought, on autopilot.
Pre-Act is built around one simple idea: the best time to find out why a decision will fail is before you make it.
Describe what you're considering. Pre-Act runs a structured pre-mortem in two minutes, imagining the failure first, then working backwards to surface the warnings you would have wished you'd noticed.
It's a technique used by founders, investors, surgeons, and military strategists. Now usable on the decisions that actually shape your life.
Not what to have for lunch. The choices you'll either thank yourself for, or regret deeply.
Quitting your job or accepting a new offer
Starting a business, finding a co-founder, raising funds
Buying a home, taking on debt, making a major purchase
Marriage, ending a relationship, having children
Moving countries, going back to school, changing careers
Medical decisions, lifestyle changes, mental health choices
Different decisions deserve different frameworks. Pre-Act gives you four proven methodologies. Pick one, or combine them all.
Best for one-time, high-stakes decisions. Imagines the choice has already failed and works backwards to surface what went wrong.
↳ Originated by Gary Klein, 2007Best for habits, lifestyle changes, and skill development. Designs a repeatable improvement plan you can actually stick to.
↳ Toyota Production System, 1950sBest for understanding why you keep ending up in the same situation. Goes five levels deep until the real cause shows up.
↳ Sakichi Toyoda, 1930sBest for complex business or operational decisions. Uses fishbone analysis to identify all factors contributing to the problem.
↳ Motorola, 1986The most likely way things go wrong, named and detailed.
The thing you're betting on but haven't said out loud.
Every risk ranked by probability × impact.
Concrete adjustments that address the highest-priority risks.
The specific steps to take before you commit.
A clear recommendation you can actually act on.
When you finish an analysis, you set a reminder, one week, one month, three months out, or any custom date/time.
When the reminder arrives, you mark which risks actually materialized and what really happened.
Over time, this builds something rare: a personal track record of how you actually decide. Not how you think you decide.
After ten or fifteen analyses, the patterns stop being abstract, and start sounding uncomfortably specific.
Across all closed decisions, see the curve sharpen.
Not the same. Often the opposite of what you'd guess.
Levels up as you use each framework more.
The patterns that show up across different decisions, in different shapes.
Pre-Act ships with 25+ structured templates across Work, Business, Finance, Relationships, Personal, and Health. Tap a template, fill in the blanks, and you have a complete scenario ready to analyze.
