Scientific Backbone

Our Research Focus

DecisionDNA exists for a single purpose:

To quantify how coordination drives performance — before the outcome arrives.

We study systems under pressure. Teams, markets, militaries, biological collectives, banks. Anywhere decisions must be made faster than complete information allows.

Our work sits where strategy, biology, and systems physics intersect.

What We Study

Universal Coordination Dynamics

How performance emerges from the interaction of metabolic rate and decision accuracy. Why coordinated systems converge toward accuracy² scaling. When systems exceed coordination capacity and decay becomes irreversible.

Metabolic Early-Warning Signals

How breakdown begins years before financial symptoms. What patterns precede failure across industries. Why collapse appears sudden but is always measurable.

Cross-Domain Validation

Football clubs. Sovereign banks. Wartime coalitions. Bio-metabolic machinery. AI infrastructure ecosystems.

When coordination falters, the curve bends. Every time.

Empirical Foundations

Across domains we observe the same pattern:

High metabolism + High accuracy

Compounding advantage

High metabolism + Low accuracy

Noisy churn

Low metabolism + High accuracy

Paralysis and stagnation

Low metabolism + Low accuracy

Failure

English Premier League — R² > 0.90. Performance predicted by metabolic balance.

Six-Day War — Advantage accurately predicted ex-ante.

Nuremberg vs Tokyo tribunals — 84× throughput difference → 2-year outcome gap.

Banking crisis 2019-2023 — DBS/JPM compounding vs SVB/Credit Suisse collapse.

We do not model outcomes. We measure the physics that produce them.

What Makes Our Research Different

Traditional management research examines outcomes. We measure pre-outcome metabolism.

Traditional strategy explains success in hindsight. We detect failure in advance.

Traditional data abundance leads to noise. Our method extracts coherence from overload.

We move from story to signal. From judgement to measurement. From analysis to physics.

Scientific Validation

We publish where scientific scrutiny is highest and where complexity forces clarity.

Work currently under review:

Organization Science

Strategic Management Journal

Additional manuscripts in development across biological coordination scaling, organizational failure prediction, and decision metabolism under AI acceleration.

Academic rigor is not marketing. It is the backbone of the instrument.

The Research Road Ahead

We are expanding the DecisionDNA evidence base across:

Multi-sector organizational casework

AI-amplified decision systems

Cross-scale metabolic mapping

Predictive failure windows

Interventions to increase decision vitality

Real-time metabolic monitoring

Our goal is not to describe the world. It is to instrument it.

Outcome of the Research Program

A world where:

Organizations know when they are running too fast before they burn.

Investors see fragility before the market reprices it.

Leaders course-correct before momentum reverses.

Performance stops being hindsight and becomes foresight.

DecisionDNA research makes the future measurable.
