The decision question
Which work would materially change cost, service, growth or risk—and why is AI the right intervention?
Polarstar capability detail
Turn a broad AI mandate into a bounded management decision with an owner, outcome, constraints and evidence threshold.
The decision question
Which work would materially change cost, service, growth or risk—and why is AI the right intervention?
What the FDE investigates
Demand, delivery units, recurring work, pain points, strategic priorities, existing initiatives and the people accountable for the result.
What becomes computable
Outcome → delivery unit → work → decision → resource → cost → metric, with explicit scope and unresolved unknowns.
From ambiguity to accountable change
Every engagement connects operational reality to a reviewable model, an authorised action and evidence of what actually changed.
Rank decision-changing questions, create an investigation plan and propose a precise transformation decision contract for review.
The assistant uses scoped tools to investigate and prepare model or workspace operations. Material changes remain proposals until the right person authorises them.
A prioritised opportunity boundary, named decision owner, non-goals, success measures and stop conditions.
An opportunity remains a hypothesis until its workload, outcome, constraints and economic mechanism are supported by admissible evidence.
Illustrative interaction
Illustrative operating pattern—not a customer result or performance claim.
AI-native FDE operating pattern
The FDE can move from a question to investigation and governed action without hiding evidence, calculation or authority.
Clarify the business decision, owner, boundary and success test.
Use only authorised evidence, systems, schemas and workflow context.
Propose business objects, trace dependencies and run deterministic engines.
Show the exact change, limitations and authority required before execution.
Return runtime observations to the hypothesis and decide what changes next.
The FDE acts under the current user’s identity and permissions. Investigation does not create approval.
LLMs help understand and explain. Versioned formulas and constraints calculate the result.
Sources, assumptions, inferences, proposals, decisions and observations retain separate states.

We will define what must be understood, what can be calculated and what evidence is required before change is authorised.
