Writing that shows its sources.

Six articles on how decisions are named, measured, made coherent and told. Each one separates what the research shows from what we argue, says where a figure is an estimate, and points to the case or booklet where the idea is worked in full.

The library

Two booklets behind the articles.

The articles are the short form. These are the long one: the booklets in which the paradoxes are catalogued and the cases are worked.

Booklet · Open edition

The Price of Better

Decision failures, seen from every seat. Nine parts: the paradox of better, a register of twelve failure patterns and eight system archetypes, ten seats at the table, the ledger of cost, eight cases, where decisions enter the Spine, how the method closes the way in, and twelve questions to ask before you sign.

Booklet · Thirteen composite cases

The Casebook

Five rooms, thirteen stories, one ode. Decision issues, institutional errors, motive depths, paradoxes and board situations, each with a lens from economics or philosophy, the warranty it tests, seminar questions and a kata.
