Real decisions. No hindsight.

Everyone knows what Apple should have done in 1997. Nobody knew in 1997.

Business education is taught backwards. You are handed the outcome, then asked to explain why it was inevitable. That teaches you to narrate history. It does not teach you to decide.

Here you see only what was on the table at the time — the same incomplete, contradictory, partly irrelevant material the executive had. You commit before you find out. Then you learn something about yourself rather than about them.

Decide before you know the outcome

How a case works

  1. 01

    Enter the situation

    A real business at a real decision point, with the company hidden.

  2. 02

    Study the evidence

    Financials, market, competition, organisation. Some of it matters. Some of it is noise.

  3. 03

    Make the call

    Pick a path, state your confidence, and write down what could make you wrong.

  4. 04

    Defend your reasoning

    A coach attacks the weakest part of your argument. Holding is allowed. Hand-waving is not.

  5. 05

    See what happened

    Only after you lock: the company, the real decision, and the outcome.

  6. 06

    Discover your patterns

    Across cases, what you actually do under uncertainty — with the evidence attached.

Sample situation

You lead a profitable software company. A competitor has cut prices by 40%. Your monthly churn has moved from 4% to 7% over two quarters.

What do you do?

The point of all this

Your decisions reveal more than your answers.

One case tells you almost nothing. Twenty cases tell you when you take risk and when you avoid it, what makes you change your mind, and where your confidence stops tracking the quality of your argument.

“You say you prefer low-risk strategies. Your decisions suggest otherwise. Across 23 cases you accept substantial financial risk when the downside is capped, management controls execution, and the upside is asymmetric. You become significantly more conservative when success depends on external partners.”
The kind of finding this is built to produce — with the cases and quotes attached.

Stop asking whether you got it right.
