Decision Gospel

The Canon of the Church of Sequential Decision Systems

These texts were not planned. They emerged from the accumulated frustration of watching organizations spend millions solving the wrong problem with the right tools. Read them as doctrine, as satire, or as both. The distinction matters less than you think.

The First Texts The Three Homilies

Sermons delivered from the mount. Diagnosis, confession, and parable. The founding proclamations of the faith.

→ The Seven The Sins

The ways we fail. Named, anatomized, and offered without apology to those who need to hear them.

→ The Ten The Commandments

Carved in stone. Not carved in a Notion doc. The moral architecture of the discipline.

→ The Blessings The Beatitudes

Blessed are those who name the decision before the laptop opens. And other truths the room did not want to hear.

→ The Warned Against The False Prophets

They are in your organization. Some of them are beloved. A record of the archetypes and their specific harms.

→ The Faithful The Congregation

Saints, Cardinals, and Monks. The people who built the doctrine, carry it forward, and refuse to put it down.

→ The Named The Heresies

False gospels, their adherents, and the specific ways they lead the faithful astray. We do not condemn the heretics.
