Entry-Level Engagement
Decision Confidence Briefing™
A focused 60- to 90-minute independent reading of a single decision currently on your desk — confidential, written, and paid.
Why a Briefing Exists
Not every decision requires a full Independent Decision Review™. Some decisions are large enough to warrant a structural reading, but not yet at the point where deep team interviews, formal pre-mortem analysis, and a 90-day follow-up are proportional. The Decision Confidence Briefing™ is built for that moment.
It is the first rung of an engagement with ID2Solve. It uses the same methodology as the Independent Decision Review™, applied at proportional depth, against the materials you provide. It exists for executives who want a meaningful independent reading before deciding whether to commission a full review — or before deciding to proceed without one.
What Happens in a Briefing
You provide the decision and the supporting materials in advance: business case, financials, plan, contracts in draft, board memo. We apply the Five-Point Framework against them — financial tolerance, operational capacity, accountability, outside dependencies, and point of no return — and identify the two or three structural questions that most warrant a closer look.
- A 60- to 90-minute confidential session with the founder of ID2Solve.
- Live discussion of the decision against the Five-Point Framework.
- A one-page written memo summarizing our position, delivered within five business days.
- Strict confidentiality. No vendor relationships. No financial stake in your decision.
Independent Assurance for Every Major Decision™
The confidence that comes from knowing your decision has been carefully examined from an external perspective and is fundamentally well-structured before execution.
When a Briefing Is the Right Format
The Briefing is the right format when:
- The decision is real and currently on the desk — not hypothetical.
- You want an independent reading before deciding whether to commission a full review.
- Materials are available — even if early-stage.
- You are willing to act on what an independent reading surfaces, including delaying or restructuring the decision if the Briefing identifies serious risk.
The Briefing is not the right format when:
- The decision is too complex for proportional depth — a full Independent Decision Review™ is the correct format.
- The decision is already committed, and the inquiry is post-hoc.
- You are looking for project management, vendor selection, or implementation.
How a Briefing Connects to Other Engagements
Many executives use a Decision Confidence Briefing™ as a first conversation. Where the decision warrants deeper work, the Briefing becomes the scoping conversation for an Independent Decision Review™ and the fee is credited toward the Review. Where the decision is sound and a single reading is sufficient, the engagement ends with the written memo. There is no expectation of conversion either direction. The Briefing's value is the Briefing.
