Most teams don’t fail because they picked the wrong prioritization framework.
They fail because they used the right one—at the wrong time.
You’ve seen it:
Hours spent debating scoring criteria for minor bug fixes
Million-dollar bets decided by gut feel and loud voices
Endless meetings where “alignment” means going in circles
When rigor is misapplied, momentum breaks.
Smart teams stall because they mismatch decision sophistication with decision consequence.
Enter: The Decision Cadence Framework™
This isn’t another scoring model.
It’s a systematic clarity tool that teaches you when to apply rigor—and when to move fast.

Match evaluation effort to decision type.
Stop overanalyzing simple calls.
Stop winging strategic ones.

Why This Matters Now
In the AI era, execution is cheap—judgment is expensive.
Frameworks don’t fail because they’re flawed.
They fail because they’re mismatched to the moment.
If you’re running every decision through the same playbook,
you’re either overburdening your team or underthinking your strategy.
Let’s fix that.
