This whitepaper examines why executive judgment fails under modern conditions of compressed time, amplified consequence, and constant scrutiny. It introduces decision signal coherence as a system-level phenomenon — distinct from intelligence, experience, or insight — and reframes leadership effectiveness around recovery speed under pressure. Drawing on neuroplasticity research, complexity science, and real-world signal collapse moments, it establishes a new discipline for training judgment where failure is no longer rare.

Intended for: Senior executives, their chiefs of staff, board leaders, executive coaches, and decision-makers operating in high-stakes, high-visibility environments.
