Definition

The ordered structure that determines which goals are higher-order (governing/justifying) and which are lower-order (serving/enabling), shaping prioritisation, trade-offs, and default behaviour under pressure.

This is the vocabulary your business already runs on.

Decidr types an organisation the way a type system types a codebase — every goal, belief and strategy a named thing the whole system agrees about. Onboarding starts by mapping yours.
