A research-led practice
Better decisions, measured.
A four-day Academy and a daily practice for operators running companies between $10M and $100M in revenue, grounded in the research literature on metacognitive regulation, Flavell's variables of self-knowledge, and Schraw & Moshman's plan-monitor-evaluate cycle. Built for decisions that are calibrated rather than clever.
Grounded in the research literature
- Flavell 1979
- Schraw & Moshman 1995
- Swanson 1990
- Perkins 1992
- Wells & Matthews 1994
Why this matters
Three failure modes, one root cause.
- 01
Poor decisions under pressure
Decisions made in the first two minutes after bad news rarely survive a week. The cost lands on Thursday.
- 02
Reactivity in leadership
The gap between the first thing you want to say and the thing you actually say is where most leadership happens.
- 03
Wasted learning cycles
Without a record of where your last ten predictions went wrong, the eleventh is a coin flip dressed up as judgment.
The daily practice
A practice that fits in a workday.
2 minutes: one decision, one predicted hazard.
The curriculum

The Academy
Four days that change how you decide.
A 4-day intensive for operators running $10–100M companies. Leave with a calibrated forecasting habit, a daily checkpoint practice, and a retrospective loop that turns last quarter's wrong calls into next quarter's right ones.
For enterprises
For teams that decide together.
Run the Academy and the daily practice with a cohort from your executive team. Designed for operators and founders of $10–100M companies who need better decisions at speed. Aggregate-only reporting with a 10-user minimum cell size.
The science
The research behind the practice.
The curriculum draws on Flavell on metacognition, Feldman Barrett on emotional granularity, and Tetlock on calibrated forecasting. Every exercise maps to a measurable skill and a citation you can read.
