The All-In Bet

What this pack runs.

Every meeting about a bet-the-company decision argues whether the thesis is right, and that is the half nobody in the room can settle. The half that can be settled is arithmetic and is almost never done: how much of the bet is committed before the first piece of evidence that does not come from inside the building — an order, a paying customer, a regulator, an independent result — and whether the company survives being wrong about it. Two bets with the same total and the same thesis are different decisions if one spends a fifth before a real order arrives and the other spends four fifths, and no approval process produces that split. This pack produces it, sets it against what the board says the company can lose and still be itself, prices what a year of waiting costs beside what everything else earns, and returns a staging target you can put in a plan. It stops on two conditions: no outside evidence has been named and dated, and nobody has said what the company can lose.

The casebooks these cases come from.

The pack reads nine sourced decisions through the framework. They are drawn from these casebooks, each one a set of verified records on a single decision type.

A verified record has passed a mechanical claim-versus-source check, a second model's read, and human approval. The count is what exists today, not a target.
