• Decision Control Beyond Finance

    Exploring how closed-loop decision control can govern high-stakes choices under uncertainty across capital-intensive industries.

We have developed a closed-loop decision control system originally designed for capital allocation and risk governance in financial markets.

At its core, this system is not about prediction or analytics alone. It is about governing high-stakes decisions under uncertainty ; determining when to act, when to hold back, and how to adapt policy as conditions change.

We are now selectively exploring where this control-based approach may translate to other industries that face similar decision characteristics.

What Makes an Industry Relevant

We are interested in domains where decisions share the following traits:

  • Decisions are capital-intensive or difficult to reverse
  • Outcomes are uncertain, path-dependent, and non-linear
  • Risk is asymmetric (downside matters more than upside)
  • Timing and sequencing materially affect outcomes
  • Traditional analytics or forecasting break down during stress

In these environments, insight alone is insufficient. What matters is policy-level decision governance.

Examples of Domains Under Exploration

The following are illustrative, not exhaustive, areas we are currently studying:

  • Healthcare systems (capacity planning, capital investments, operational risk)
  • Energy and infrastructure (long-horizon planning, stress scenarios)
  • Manufacturing and supply chains (inventory, expansion, and timing risk)
  • Natural resources (e.g., lumber, mining, commodities with cyclical exposure)
  • R&D and long-term investment planning

We do not assume applicability by default. Each domain requires careful validation of where control logic holds; and where it does not.

An Open Invitation

If you operate in an industry where decisions resemble the conditions above; and are curious whether a control-based decision framework could apply; we welcome a conversation.

This is not a sales pitch.

We are seeking informed perspectives from operators, decision owners, and domain experts to understand:

  • Where this framework transfers effectively
  • Where it breaks down
  • What constraints or signals are truly domain-specific

A short call or note is sufficient.

This research effort reflects our belief that as uncertainty becomes structural, decision control; not prediction alone; becomes essential.
