Desidge is a decision intelligence tool for senior leaders. You bring it a situation, anything from a single email to a working relationship that’s been difficult for months. It looks at what’s going on beneath the surface, taking into account how you lead and the organisation you lead in. Then it recommends a move and how to approach it.
It’s based on thirty years of work in senior leadership and governance, and on the research into how leaders make decisions. Most leaders know the theory. Desidge helps with applying it, whether something needs a response today, you have time to plan, or you want to look back at how something played out.
Access is by invitation during the pilot.

Desidge works with the real situation, either as it arrived or in your own words. It asks what it needs to know, and the more you give it, the clearer the read.
Paste the thread or what you’re about to send. Desidge reads the politics and trust signals in it. Defensiveness and withdrawn warmth show up on the page more than most people realise.
Describe what you expect to happen and who will be in the room. Desidge helps you plan how to open, and how to respond if it goes another way.
Talk it through. Desidge tests your thinking and shows you what you haven’t weighed yet.
A working relationship that has shifted, or a stakeholder you can’t bring on side. Describe it in your own words, and Desidge helps you work out what to do next.
Every read starts from a profile of how you lead and the organisation you lead in.
General AI answers the question. Desidge reads the situation. It runs inside Claude or ChatGPT, so there’s no new app to learn, and you set it up once with a profile of how you lead and the organisation around you.
A set of questions about how you lead, the organisation around you, and how you tend to respond under pressure. You see the profile yourself, and Desidge reads every situation through it.
Paste an email thread or a draft, or describe what’s happening in your own words. Say who’s involved and what’s at stake. Rough notes are enough, and Desidge will ask for anything else it needs.
Desidge recommends the move it would make and explains why, with the other options alongside. It’s drawn from the research, with suggested wording where it helps and the signs to watch for once you act.
Each read shows you what’s going on, what Desidge would do and why, and how to start. You come away with a call you can stand behind, and reasoning you can check.
What’s being signalled under the words, including what hasn’t been said, read against how you lead and the organisation you lead in.
The move Desidge recommends and why, with suggested wording where it helps and notes on what it’s doing. The other options sit alongside, so the choice stays yours.
The signs that the move has landed or hasn’t, and where your usual response under pressure could pull you off course.
Something has landed and needs a response soon. You get a clear read before you commit to one.
A conversation or decision is coming up. Plan it around the people involved, and know how you’ll respond if it shifts.
Look back at how something played out and what it tells you about the next one, and about how you lead.
Leaders bring Desidge sensitive material: board politics, performance conversations, drafts they haven’t sent. That shapes how it’s built.
Your profile and the situations you bring stay inside your own Claude or ChatGPT account, under the settings you already have there.
Desidge doesn’t store a copy of your profile or your situations, so there’s nothing for anyone here to read.
Because everything sits in your own account, you can delete it at any time, the same way you’d delete any other conversation.
Desidge doesn’t use what you share to train AI models.
Most senior leaders reach a point where experience stops settling things on its own. It might be a new role, a restructure, a change at the top, or AI reshaping how the work gets done. The strengths that got you here start to cost more, and under pressure the old default still takes over.
If you’re on a board, in the C-suite or leading a large part of an organisation, and ready to work differently, Desidge is built for you. It’s also useful earlier, when you can see the shift coming.
Anything else, email hello@desidge.com.
Decision intelligence is the practice of improving how decisions get made. Most tools in the field work with data and forecasts. Desidge works with the human side of a decision: what’s going on between the people involved, how the organisation shapes what’s possible, and how your own habits under pressure affect the call. It brings a structured method to each situation, and over time you see your own patterns more clearly.
It works alongside coaching. Coaching builds capability over time. Desidge is there for the situations in between, whether something needs a response today or you’re planning ahead. The founding cohort brings the two together.
Desidge runs inside both, so you keep the assistant you already use. A general assistant will give you a reasonable answer, but it doesn’t know how you lead or the organisation you lead in, and it has no method for reading what’s going on beneath the surface. Desidge brings both.
Desidge doesn’t store anything. What you bring stays in your own Claude or ChatGPT account, under your settings there, and you can delete it the same way as any other conversation. Whether conversations are used to train models is a setting in your AI account, and we’ll show you where to check it.
Yes. It draws on research into leadership, trust, communication, decision-making under pressure and organisational culture, brought together in a method developed over thirty years of practice. Citations don’t clutter the read, but you can ask where any point comes from.
It works from your profile and what you bring, and it asks follow-up questions before it reads anything. Where the information is thin, it tells you which parts of the read are less certain. The reasoning is always laid out, so you can test it against what you know.
No. It’s built for senior leaders at the point where experience alone no longer settles things. That includes boards and the C-suite, and general managers and heads of function leading large parts of an organisation.
Setting up takes 30 to 45 minutes. After that, it’s up to you: an hour is enough to get a feel for it, and you can use it as much as you like. Feedback can be by email or a short Loom video, whichever is easier.
