Five questions. One score. An honest read on whether this work fits your decision.
A short self-assessment for principals weighing whether PSIGNAL's decision-environment intelligence fits the situation in front of them. No email required. The score appears at the bottom.
Signal 01 · Stakes
Is the decision worth at least $500,000 to you if it goes wrong?
Below this threshold, a session usually doesn't pay for itself. Solid conventional diligence is a better fit for smaller decisions.
Signal 02 · Counterparty
Is there another person or party whose true intentions could change the outcome?
This work produces the most value when the decision depends on someone else's hidden intent. Pure analytical questions, like financial modeling or market sizing, don't have that hidden layer.
Signal 03 · Reversibility
If this decision goes wrong, would unwinding it be expensive or impossible?
Decisions that are easy to reverse don't need this kind of intelligence. Decisions that lock you in (acquisitions, long contracts, partnerships, personal guarantees) do.
Signal 04 · Diligence Sufficiency
You've done the standard diligence already, and something still feels off?
If your attorneys, accountants, and references have all checked out, but the conclusion doesn't sit right, the gap you're feeling is usually real. That gap is what this work reaches.
Signal 05 · Recurrence
Will you face decisions like this one again over the next 12 months?
A no points to a single read for a single decision. A yes points to recurring intelligence on the broader pattern.
The Five-Signal Check is a self-assessment, not a forecast. It's structured to help you reason about whether decision-environment intelligence fits your situation, not to predict outcomes. PSIGNAL does not predict outcomes.
