FAQ

Answers to the questions leaders ask first.

What Decidian is, how a pilot works, and how data, security, ownership, and success are handled — in plain English.

01
What is Decidian?

Decidian is one platform for turning fragmented enterprise information into decisions leaders can trust. It evaluates the evidence behind a defined decision area — what supports it, what contradicts it, and what is missing — and returns a reviewable output for executive review.

02
Does it replace our systems?

No. Decidian works alongside the systems you already run. The evaluation happens in parallel with the existing environment, within the access model and scope agreed with the client, and is designed for minimal operational disruption.

03
How does a pilot work?

A focused 15–30 day evaluation of one workflow or decision area. Scope, access, reviewers, and success criteria are agreed in writing before work begins. Decidian evaluates the relevant evidence, delivers a reviewable output, and the client chooses the next step at the close of the pilot.

04
What data is required?

Only the systems, documents, and datasets needed for the agreed decision area. Access is scoped to the use case, granted to named individuals, and removed when the engagement ends. Specific data-handling requirements are documented with the client before any data changes hands.

05
How is security handled?

Security, privacy, and governance requirements are documented with the client before the pilot begins. Decidian responds to the client's security questionnaires and vendor-review processes and provides a written trust package under NDA on request. See the Trust & Governance page for the full model.

06
Who owns the output?

The client. Reviewable decision outputs, evidence gaps, risk indicators, and recommended next steps are the client's to retain, review, share internally, and act on. Decidian retains only what the engagement documentation permits.

07
How is success measured?

Success criteria are decision-area specific, written down before work begins, and reviewed together at the close of the pilot. Each criterion is framed so client reviewers can judge whether it was met against the evidence produced.

08
What happens after the pilot?

At the final review the client chooses one of three next steps: continue into an ongoing engagement across additional decision areas, extend the current pilot into adjacent evidence or a second decision area, or conclude — with data handled per the agreed exit procedure.

Start with one decision that matters.

A focused 15–30 day pilot, scoped and governed on your terms.
