Make Confident Capital Decisions in 6-12 Weeks.

Prepare one high-stakes initiative for a clear Commit, Correct, or Cut decision.

Apply for the Decision Sprint

Turn ambiguity into explicit evidence, aligned ownership, and decision-ready criteria before capital moves.

If This Sounds Familiar…

Leaders debate opinions instead of resolving key unknowns
Capital moves before assumptions are tested
Decision rights are unclear
Governance reviews increase but confidence doesn’t
Risk stays implicit until it’s too late

The problem isn’t alignment.

The problem is invisible risk.

What Happens When Risk Is Made Visible

$24MM in New Growth generated from the combined 57% of the projects (Commit + Correct) that launched in the market.

$12MM saved on the bottom line from re-deploying resources from the 43% of the Cut projects.

26% Commit
Customer-validated value propositions with strong sponsorship and competitive advantage
31% Correct
Early course correction based on customer, market, or value-chain evidence
43% Cut
Projects discontinued early due to lack of viable path forward, liberating capital and talent

The Decision Sprint makes risk explicit before capital moves.

The Decision Sprint is a focused 6–12 week engagement built around one initiative.

Identify and organize assumptions across desirability, viability, and feasibility.
Surface the specific evidence required before committing more capital.
Make risk visible across functions using a shared assumptions map.
Design lightweight experiments to test the riskiest assumptions first.
Establish explicit Commit, Correct, or Cut criteria to guide the next decision.

This is a decision preparation engagement.

“We built a front-end system with Precoil that made smarter bets before Stage-Gate ever began.”

— Darren Stoddart, Behr

A structured Assumption Map
The 3–5 risks most likely to break the initiative.
Clear evidence thresholds before further funding
A 90-day learning plan
Explicit Commit, Correct, or Cut criteria

Even if final commitment comes after the 90-day plan, it won’t be vague.

By the end of the Decision Sprint, you will have:

“Precoil saved us a hell of a lot of time discussing.”

— Dave Masters, Realtor.com

This Is For Leadership Teams Who:

Are about to allocate meaningful capital
Must defend decisions in governance or board review
Want clarity before Stage-Gate or funding
Care about redeploying capital early, not late

FAQs

Does the Sprint guarantee a final Commit / Correct / Cut decision?
No. It guarantees clarity on what must be true before committing more capital. Some initiatives require a 90-day learning cycle before final commitment.

What if we need to run experiments after the Sprint?
That’s expected. The Sprint defines the 90-day learning plan and decision criteria so testing is intentional, not reactive.

Who needs to be involved?
The stakeholders accountable for the initiative’s outcome, typically a cross-functional leadership group.

Is this a workshop?
No. It’s a structured decision-preparation engagement focused on one initiative.

What happens after the Sprint?
You execute the 90-day learning plan and make the next capital decision with clarity. If the structure proves valuable, we can apply it to additional initiatives.
