Strategy & Planning

    From strategic options to structured execution

    Structure strategic choices as explicit alternatives with assumptions, dependencies, and success criteria. Compare options with multi-criteria analysis, scenario modeling, and stress testing — then track execution with leading indicators.

    Challenges We Solve

    Common pain points that structured decision models eliminate.

    Strategic Drift

    Annual strategy decks gather dust by Q2. Continuously assess strategic alignment and detect when execution diverges from intent before it costs a quarter.

    Analysis Paralysis

    Endless debate without structured evaluation. Score strategic options on viability, reversibility, timing, and resource requirements on the same framework.

    Scenario Blindness

    Plans assume a single future. Model multiple scenarios with Monte Carlo simulation and stress testing to build strategies resilient to uncertainty.

    Investment Misalignment

    Budget allocation doesn't reflect strategic priorities. Map every investment to strategic objectives with quantified impact scoring and trade-off analysis.

    Use Cases

    How leaders use DecisionLedger to make better decisions.

    CEO

    Evaluates 4 strategic options using the multi-criteria analysis model, scoring each on viability, reversibility, resource requirements, and time-to-impact — then presents the comparison to the board.

    Strategic decisions backed by structured analysis, not consensus bias

    Chief Strategy Officer

    Runs scenario planning with Monte Carlo stress testing across 3 market environments, identifying which strategic bets are resilient to uncertainty and which are fragile.

    VP of Business Development

    Uses the trade-off analysis model to compare build vs. buy vs. partner options for a new capability, quantifying cost, speed, risk, and strategic fit on the same scale.

    Featured Models

    Pre-built decision models ready to run with your data.

    Assumption Sensitivity Model

    Identifies which assumptions most influence the outcome and how changes to them could materially alter the decision.

    Decision Portfolio Balance Model

    Detects over-concentration of risk across decisions. Analyzes the aggregate portfolio of active decisions to identify clustering, correlation, and concentration risks that could amplify failures. Computes Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, category and risk-level concentration, timeline clustering, risk factor correlation, and portfolio balance scoring with rebalancing recommendations.

    Risk Matrix

    Scenario Planning & Stress Testing

    Model multiple future scenarios and stress test decisions against adverse conditions. Quantifies upside, downside, and base-case outcomes with probability-weighted expected values. Computes Value at Risk (VaR), Monte Carlo confidence intervals, scenario comparison matrices, sensitivity analysis, and risk-adjusted recommendations.

    Scenario Modeling

    Strategic Alignment Model

    Scores how well a decision aligns to company objectives. Maps decisions against strategic pillars, OKRs, and values with weighted alignment scoring and gap analysis.

    Weighted Sum (MCDA)

    Strategic Option Viability Model

    Compares strategic paths with quantified upside, downside, and execution risk. Evaluates multiple strategic options through financial, operational, and risk lenses to identify the most viable path forward. Computes expected monetary value, risk-adjusted EMV, asymmetry ratios, real options value, viability composite scores, dominance analysis, breakeven probabilities, and Monte Carlo confidence intervals.

    Scenario Modeling

    Strategy-to-Execution Gap Model

    Measures how far strategic intent deviates from operational reality. Compares planned vs actual across key dimensions to quantify execution drift and identify intervention points. Computes gap scores per objective, overall execution gap index, drift velocity, dimension gap analysis, at-risk objectives, intervention priority ranking, projected completion dates, and execution health score.

    Weighted Sum (MCDA)

    Timing & Irreversibility Model

    Flags decisions that are hard or impossible to undo. Evaluates the reversibility, timing sensitivity, and option value of deferral for each decision to prevent premature commitment to irreversible paths.

    Decision Tree

    Trade-off Analysis Model

    Explicitly surfaces opportunity cost between competing options. Quantifies what you gain and what you give up for each alternative using multi-criteria comparison with explicit cost-of-not-choosing analysis.

    Weighted Sum (MCDA)

    How It Works

    Three steps to structured, auditable decisions.

    1

    Define Strategic Options

    Structure strategic choices as explicit alternatives with assumptions, dependencies, and success criteria. Make implicit decisions explicit.

    2

    Analyze & Compare

    Run multi-criteria analysis, scenario modeling, and sensitivity testing. Compare options on the same structured, auditable framework.

    3

    Execute & Adapt

    Track strategy execution with leading indicators, detect assumption failures early, and run structured pivot-or-persist reviews.
