Have you ever tried to build a decision‑making framework that’s both razor‑sharp in its data crunching and still leaves room for that creative, off‑beat insight you’re known for? I’ve been sketching out something that tries to do just that—maybe we could compare notes.

I’m layering a classic OODA loop on a top‑side “innovation buffer.” The cycle is the same—Observe, Orient, Decide, Act—but after each Act I insert a 30‑second “pulse check.” During that pulse I run a quick heat‑map of metrics, flag any anomalies, and then flip a small prompt card for a gut‑check. If the numbers line up but the card sparks a question, I pull the decision back into the loop, add that spark, and re‑evaluate. It keeps the crunch tight but lets the off‑beat idea surface before the next cycle.
