My journey into intelligence analysis began over thirty years ago, when I first realized how much our decisions depend on the quality of our thinking. Early in my career, I saw firsthand how even the most well-intentioned analysts could fall into cognitive traps, overlook key evidence, or let biases shape their conclusions. I became fascinated by the question: how can we actually improve the way we think, not just what we think about?
Over the years, I dedicated myself to improving my thinking, mastering structured analytic techniques, and teaching them to others—first as an analyst, then as a coach and mentor. I’ve worked with professionals across government, business, and academia, helping them break down complex problems, challenge assumptions, and communicate their reasoning clearly. But I always felt there was a missing piece: a way for people to practice these skills daily, get real feedback, and truly understand their own thinking patterns.
That’s why I created this app. I wanted to build a tool that doesn’t just test your knowledge or give you the “right” answer, but actually helps you become aware of how you reason. This app guides you step-by-step through proven structuring techniques, then uses AI to give you feedback on your process—not just your conclusions. It’s the kind of resource I wish I’d had when I was starting out, and the one I now use to keep my own thinking sharp.
My hope is that this app empowers you to think more critically, analyze more effectively, and approach every problem with greater clarity and confidence. Whether you’re an analyst, manager, student, writer, teacher, strategist, or someone who needs to reason under uncertainty, I’m excited to support your journey.
