Notes on decisions that are hard to undo

Practical writing on structure, verification and timing — for people who are about to sign something significant.

A structured decision review is a written, independent analysis of one pending decision: four assessment dimensions, two or three scenario paths, and a list of what has to be evidenced before you commit. These articles are the material underneath that work — how decisions fail, what to verify, and which questions belong to your lawyer rather than to us. Two or three are published a week; a review is delivered as a written memo over WhatsApp in 48 hours, with one follow-up exchange answered within 72 hours.

Nothing here predicts an outcome. Each article sets out what to check, and where a review sits versus a legal memo, a consultancy engagement or a reading — and questions sent to us are answered within 24 hours.

Questions about this writing (FAQ)

What do you write about?

The structural side of high-stakes decisions: what to verify before signing, who can block a decision, how to sequence capital, and how to exit — for cross-border investment, residency planning, partnerships and disposals.

What should I read first?

Start with "The 30 days before you sign: five structural checks" for a practical checklist, then "What a structured decision review costs" for scope and pricing.

How often is new writing published?

Two or three articles a week, each about one decision type and short enough to read in one sitting. The <a href="/blog/search.html">search page</a> matches the full text of every article in your browser, and each piece is filed under a topic and a month.

Can I quote or cite this writing?

Yes — quote it with a link back to the article. If you need the reasoning applied to a decision you are holding, that is what a review is: a written memo over WhatsApp in 48 hours with one follow-up exchange within 72 hours of delivery.
