Sample Decision Check™ Report

EXAMPLE

Home Purchase — Jane and Michael

Measurement
Elevated Commitment Pressure
Position
Higher Than Typical
Compared With
Home purchases supported by employment income with variable commission.
Interpretation
This home purchase relies on the continued strength of the structure supporting it. Commission income must persist at expected levels throughout the 30-year mortgage term.
Primary Drivers
Support depends on variable income continuation (commission-based)
Long-term horizon (30 years) extends dependence on sustained income
Loss of commission income would affect mortgage payment capacity
Employment income alone insufficient to cover full mortgage obligation
Implications
Several important things must continue to be true for this home purchase to remain supported.
Typical Range
Most home purchases supported by employment income with commission fall between Moderate and Elevated Commitment Pressure.
Technical Classification
CPE

What This Report Shows

• If commission continues as expected, the decision remains supported

• The decision depends on continued commission income at current levels

• If commission stops, the decision would lack adequate support

• Similar situations with commission-based income typically show Elevated Commitment Pressure

• Commission income stability is what this decision relies on most heavily

Before a Major Decision, Know What It Depends On

Most people think about financial decisions in terms of affordability.

"Can I afford the monthly payment?"

"Do I have enough savings?"

"Is my income sufficient?"

But there's another question that matters equally:

"What must continue to go right for this decision to work?"

A $300,000 home purchase seems affordable. But what if your income drops 30%? What if you need extended leave? What if your partner's income changes?

Professional decision-makers—financial advisors, business owners, investors—always evaluate this question. They just do it subjectively, based on experience. Different professionals may evaluate the same decision structure differently, depending on their expertise and perspective.

Decision Check™ applies standardized measurement to that evaluation. Same decision structure always produces the same assessment. The clarity comes from consistency—fixed rules, not subjective judgment.

What Might Your Decision Depend On?

These are conditions different decisions require. That's what we measure.

Decision Check™ Is Your Professional Assessment

Decision Check™ is built on the Decision Dependence™ standard.

Decision Dependence™ measures how heavily a financial decision depends on supporting conditions remaining intact.

When you complete your Decision Check™ assessment, you get a standardized report that shows what your decision is built on, how typical your situation is, and what you need to understand going forward:

How much does my major financial decision depend on supporting conditions remaining intact?

Think of it like a home inspection. An inspection doesn't tell you whether to buy the house. It tells you what the house is built on and what condition it's in. You decide what to do with that information.

Decision Check™ works the same way. It doesn't recommend yes or no. It shows you what your decision is built on so you can decide confidently.

Understanding Your Commitment Pressure™ Classification

Every Decision Check™ report includes a Commitment Pressure™ classification that measures how much your financial decision depends on specific conditions continuing to happen.

CPL

Low Commitment Pressure

Few important things must continue to go right. Your decision has flexibility to absorb change.

CPM

Moderate Commitment Pressure

Several things must continue to go right. Your decision requires stability in key areas but has some flexibility.

CPE

Elevated Commitment Pressure

Several important things must continue to go right. Your decision requires more stability and has limited flexibility.

CPH

High Commitment Pressure

Many important things must continue to go right. Your decision is dependent on sustained stability across multiple areas.

CPC

Critical Commitment Pressure

Most key things must continue to go right. Your decision has minimal flexibility and depends on nearly everything staying the same.

Your classification shows you where you sit—and what you actually depend on.

How This Measurement Works

Decision Check™ uses a systematic framework to evaluate decision dependencies.

Step 1

Structural Analysis

We analyze your specific situation against your decision type to identify supporting conditions.

Step 2

Comparison Framework

We compare your situation to the typical range for similar decisions in your category.

Step 3

Dependence Classification

We classify your dependence level using the Commitment Pressure™ scale (Low to Critical).

Step 4

Clear Reporting

We generate a clear, standardized report showing what you depend on and what that means.

This approach is consistent, comparable, and transparent. Learn more about our methodology →
