I have one consequential decision. Help me examine this one properly.
The Independent Decision File is for someone who does not want membership or the tools. You have one important decision now and want a structured independent second look before the commitment becomes difficult to reverse.

What the US$695 buys
A defined body of work around one decision.
You complete the structured intake and supply the material reasonably required for the agreed scope. The system organises and examines that material. The output is a written Independent Decision File designed to make the present position easier to inspect.
The decisionWhat is actually being decided and what would move if you proceed.
The posterThe promise, proposal or case being made for acting.
The pocketWhat you may actually have to fund, do, carry or live with.
Evidence and assumptionsWhat is supported, what is claimed, what is being assumed and what remains unknown.
Costs, conditions and incentivesHow the economics, commitments, dependencies and incentives shape the decision.
Downside and fitWhat becomes exposed if the optimistic case does not occur, and whether the decision fits your actual constraints.
Proceed / cautionThe strongest case for proceeding and the strongest case for caution.
Questions and present positionWhat still deserves an answer and what the evidence can responsibly support now.
This is not “we decide for you.” The File is a structured independent second look. The final decision, verification and responsibility remain with you.
How the process works
Prepare first. Read the File. Then use the private time for what still matters.
- Define one decision. Complete the structured intake and supply the relevant material.
- Structure the decision. The material is organised into claims, evidence, assumptions, costs, conditions, incentives, missing information, downside, fit and decision questions.
- Receive the Independent Decision File. Read the written analysis before the private conversation.
- Respond to the File. Tell us what surprised you, what you disagree with and what remains unresolved.
- Decision Debrief. Use the focused private conversation with Lance on the two or three issues that now matter most.
- You decide. The engagement ends with the decision still yours.
What this does not include
The boundary is part of the product.
- No Careful Circle or Closer Access membership.
- No eleven member tools.
- No ongoing member library, briefings or Decision Room.
- No unlimited document review, open-ended investigation or unlimited founder time.
- No guarantee, certification or promise that the decision will succeed.
- No replacement for legal, tax, accounting, financial or other regulated professional advice.
If the material or complexity falls outside the standard one-decision scope, that must be identified before the work begins rather than silently expanding the promise.
Why the human layer remains
AI can structure information. It cannot supply lived commercial consequence.
The work draws on more than 35 years of real-world business and decision experience. The reasoning method was refined through more than two years of structured use and feedback involving 425 leaders and their teams.
AI and the Premise Decision Engine help organise what is in front of us. Human judgement helps us recognise which questions deserve another look. Evidence still has to earn the conclusion.
One consequential decision. No subscription.
If that is the buying need in front of you, begin with a brief expectations conversation so the scope is clear before any material moves.
The decision remains yours.
