Decision Stack is a weekly essay series about making clear decisions in complex environments.

It focuses on how people with responsibility actually decide — under uncertainty, limited information, and real consequences.

Rather than offering advice, productivity tactics, or motivation, Decision Stack works at a different level:
reducing noise, defining constraints, and clarifying what truly matters before a decision is made.

The essays draw on strategy, systems thinking, and long-term reasoning.
They are written for readers who already carry responsibility — and are less interested in more information than in better judgment.

Decision Stack is intentionally quiet.
No trends. No tools. No urgency.

Just clear thinking, applied consistently, over time.


What to expect

  • One essay per week
  • Focus on consequential decisions, not daily choices
  • Frameworks designed to be reused
  • Writing over commentary
  • Clarity over volume

Most essays are reserved for subscribers.
Occasionally, a complete essay is published openly.


Who it’s for

Decision Stack is written for people who decide for a living — founders, executives, investors, and independent professionals.

If your work involves trade-offs, uncertainty, and second-order effects, this is where the thinking starts.
