Decision Governance Infrastructure

Stop the distortion before
it becomes destiny

Most founders fail not from lack of talent, but from invisible decision decay. ASTERIS installs a governance system you own — one that detects failure modes, runs without you in the room, and compounds your clarity over time.

The Problem

You are making decisions that compound against you

Every founder carries invisible decision debt. Unmade choices, deferred strategies, unverified assumptions — each one compounding quietly until the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of being wrong. The result is not dramatic failure. It is slow, invisible erosion.


No decision system

You make decisions as they come, based on gut and experience. There is no written record of who decides what, when, or how decisions get verified. Your business runs on instinct — and instinct does not scale.

Founder as bottleneck

Nothing moves without you. Your team has capability but not permission. Every question routes to your desk because nobody knows what they are allowed to decide. You resent the bottleneck you have become.

Rented advice, no infrastructure

You have spent thousands on coaches, consultants, and advisors. When the engagement ends, so does the clarity. You accumulated expense, not equity. The next advisor starts from zero.

The System

Detect. Constitute. Compound.

ASTERIS does not give you advice. It installs decision infrastructure inside your business that you own, operate, and evolve without external dependency.


01

Detect

Identify which of the 9 Hell Events are active in your business. Map your governance gaps. See the failure modes you cannot see from the inside.

02

Constitute

Build your Personal Decision Constitution: who decides what, when decisions happen, how they get verified, and how the organisation remembers and learns.

How we install →
03

Compound

Every logged decision makes the next one faster. Every verified assumption reduces future risk. The system gets smarter because the decisions get recorded.

Hell Events

The 9 failure modes you cannot see from the inside

Every founder thinks their problem is unique. It is not. These nine patterns destroy businesses run by people too smart to see the pattern. Recognition is the first act of governance.


HE-001
The Fog
You cannot name your top 3 priorities with confidence. Everything feels equally urgent. Decision paralysis disguised as keeping options open.
HE-002
Revenue Whiplash
Income swings between feast and famine. No predictable revenue engine. Every month starts from zero.
HE-003
Identity Fracture
You are the business. Nothing moves without you. Your identity has fused with the company and you cannot separate.
HE-004
Accountability Gap
People agree to things and do not deliver. Commitments dissolve. You have stopped expecting follow-through.
HE-005
Coherence Collapse
Your brand says one thing, your delivery says another, your team says a third. Nothing aligns.
HE-006
Burnout Spiral
Working harder is the only strategy. You have normalised exhaustion. Rest feels like falling behind.
HE-007
Hire Regret Cascade
You keep hiring wrong. Each bad hire costs more than the last. You have lost trust in your own judgement about people.
HE-008
Shiny Object Storm
New ideas arrive faster than old ones get finished. You start everything and complete nothing. The pipeline is full but nothing ships.
HE-009
Decision Debt
Decisions you did not make are compounding. Every week the backlog grows. The cost of inaction is now higher than the cost of being wrong.

Who This Is For

High-cognition founders who build to last

ASTERIS is not for everyone. It is for founders who have already proven they can build something — and now need the decision infrastructure to make it an institution.


You have revenue but no system

The business works because you work. Revenue comes from your effort, not from infrastructure. If you stopped, it would stop. You need decision architecture that runs independently of your presence.

You have tried frameworks that did not stick

EOS, OKRs, Scaling Up — you adopted them, partially implemented them, and quietly abandoned them. You need something built for how you actually think, not a template designed for the average company.

You are tired of renting advice

Coaches, consultants, advisory boards — the insights stop when the invoices stop. You want to own the system. Transfer the capability. Make the external dependency unnecessary.

Find out what is actually breaking

The free diagnostic takes 3 minutes. You will know your active failure modes before you finish your coffee.
