Financial statements aren't enough. Use AI to keep a ledger of your judgment quality over time.

Quick Answer

Key Takeaways:

  • Financials lag; decisions lead.
  • Account for your 'Thinking' assets.
  • Measure judgment quality.
  • Smart businesses learn faster than competitors.
  • AI-generated decision reviews.
