Intelligence isn’t what gets founders stuck. Decision velocity is.
Emma Rainville (the Wizard of Ops) and Mitch Barham (the Wizard of Ads) break down how to move through decisions fast when your brain has already jumped to the next thing — and the decision-maker agent that tells you no.
How it works: you train it on your resources, you give it the outcome you want, and it comes back with options — here’s the path, here’s what it costs you, here’s what you get. You answer in yes or no instead of sitting through a fifteen-minute conversation about why nobody’s sure. And when you try to add seven new things before the last one shipped, it holds the line: pivots allowed, additions not until this is finished.
