Decide

The Decide pillar helps you turn signals from Sense into policy-based decisions and planning actions.

Operating model: Sense → Decide → Approve → Execute → Improve. Decide is recommendation and planning; Approve (human authority, policy gates, evidence) is realized in Govern and loops before high-impact Execute steps.
