Decidi for consultants

Bulletproof the recommendation before the steering committee sees it.

Have the partner, the client CFO and the skeptic in the room argue your deck apart first — so the recommendation that lands is the one you already defended.

Why consultants use it

Pressure-test the recommendation against the hardest question the client’s CFO will ask.
Have a "partner review" tear the logic apart before it’s a partner tearing it apart for real.
Stress-test the framework and the numbers so the so-what survives scrutiny, not just the slide.
Surface the second-order consequence the client lives with after you’ve flown home.
Steelman the option you’re recommending against, so the choice is honest, not pre-decided.
Catch the unsupported leap between data and conclusion before it’s a credibility problem.

Stress-test before you ship

A worked example — the recommendation the CFO will attack

Say your team has spent six weeks on a market-entry study and the deck recommends entering via acquisition. The steering committee includes a CFO who has killed two previous proposals by finding the one number that did not survive questioning.

The council runs the partner review you wish you had time for: the Strategy Consultant checks whether the framework quietly assumes its own conclusion, the CFO seat attacks the valuation and synergy numbers the way the client’s CFO will, and the Data Skeptic hunts the unsupported leap between the data appendix and the so-what. The Steelman then argues the option you recommended against — organic entry — at full strength, because if your deck only beats a strawman, the steering committee will notice. You get the hardest three questions you will face, with the answers drafted, and the second-order consequence your recommendation creates after the engagement ends.
