## From Dashboards to Decisions
We are drowning in dashboards. Executives don't need more charts; they need recommendations with confidence intervals.
### The DI Stack
Decision Intelligence (DI) combines data science, social science, and managerial science.
1. **Causal Inference**: Understanding cause and effect, not just correlation.
2. **Simulation**: Running "what-if" scenarios (e.g., "What if we raise prices by 5%?").
3. **Optimization**: Finding the best action under constraints.
### Building Trust
For an enterprise to trust an AI decision, the system must be explainable. "The black box said so" is not an acceptable strategy in the boardroom.
