decisionMe has launched as a new artificial intelligence-driven solution designed to help individuals and teams navigate complex and important decisions.
Founded by Glenn D. House Sr., a technology executive with experience leading three previous Boston-area startups to successful acquisitions, the company aims to support professionals and entrepreneurs in making data-driven choices through its first application, decisionMe raDAR. The decisionMe platform is operating from Westborough, Massachusetts, and brings an enterprise-class framework to a broader user base.
AI-driven decision support
The decisionMe raDAR application is designed to guide users through a comprehensive process analysing alternatives, risks, and costs. The engine leverages AI to provide unbiased recommendations, addressing both professional and personal scenarios, such as business location selection, career changes, or further education planning.
Glenn D. House Sr. explained the motivation behind the development of the platform.
"Making a choice with limited data can be costly in terms of time, resources and lost opportunity. I wanted to bring a method I know works in industry to other professionals to help them navigate decisions with confidence. Using the decisionMe app will help professionals across the country reduce the risk, stress, and anxiety associated with complex decisioning. Here's to fewer sleepless nights due to big decisions!"
The app automates traditionally manual, spreadsheet-based decision frameworks, enabling a more accessible approach to multi-criteria decision-making, which has been a challenge across various sectors. Its approach is rooted in decades of decision intelligence and analysis gathered from large enterprise organisations, and incorporates the selection and ranking of criteria to enhance precision.
Professional insight
decisionMe's use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and embedded analytics sets it apart from existing tools. The software provides automatic scenario calculations, enabling users to evaluate the impact of different decision paths and facilitating collaborative decision-making for teams.
Susan DiClemente, who owns a coaching and consulting business, has provided her perspective on how the application fits within her professional practice.
"For years I've been coaching women in science to use decisioning frameworks in their professional and personal lives. When I heard about this new application, I was so excited and energized. I use a certain manual approach that provides clarity to decision making, but it can be cumbersome. Using decisionMe's tool, I can give my clients the opportunity to make their decisions with a proven method coupled with AI and automatic statistical scenarios, making the process much more streamlined. This is just what my clients need to communicate their decisions with confidence and clarity."
Addressing industry challenges
The decision analysis sector has, for many years, relied on complex methods such as Decision Analysis and Resolution (DAR) frameworks and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tools. Typically requiring extensive data entry and management through spreadsheets, these previous approaches introduced inefficiencies and a risk of error.
House's background in developing decision support solutions over more than three decades has informed the design of decisionMe. By removing the complexities of manual calculations, the platform focuses users on defining the criteria and achieving the desired outcomes. The tool also integrates statistical simulations, building upon established best practices for multi-criteria decision-making. The AI engine reviews and incorporates additional criteria and constraints to improve decision quality and effectiveness.
Users can utilise decisionMe across a diverse range of decisions—from educational choices to personal financial planning and challenging work decisions—through either their mobile devices or computers. The AI-powered application aims to reduce external bias, delivering clear and defensible outcomes for both individuals and collaborative teams.
The decisionMe raDAR application is currently available for use online, offering decision guidance to both individual professionals and organisational teams.
