Argues that “Decision Intelligence” unifies machine learning, causal reasoning and optimization to treat each major corporate choice as an engineered artifact, letting boards move from static charts to interactive models. Describes an online decision model with decision levers and outcomes, externals and feedback loops, a carbon‑tax demo that trades old versus new plant and shows how marketing and reinvestment create positive feedback, and says each causal link is fit by ML and updated via adaptive predictive updates. Claims executives make about three major decisions a month and that this approach unlocks thousands of new use cases.
