deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: someone is making a decision under emotional pressure and worries they'll regret it later; someone says "I know I should do X but it feels too scary right now"; someone is about to quit, accept an offer, end a relationship, or have a hard conversation and is stuck; someone mentions "regret minimization," "what would future me say," or "Suzy Welch." Do NOT activate when: the decision has no medium- or long-term consequences (e.g., which lunch to order); the decision belongs to someone else and the user is being asked to ratify it.

aarrr-pirate-metrics

deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: user says 'our growth is stalling and we don't know why,' 'product and marketing are arguing about whose fault it is,' 'where is our funnel breaking,' 'pirate metrics,' or 'acquisition vs activation vs retention.' Also activate for: designing end-to-end metrics for a new product, building a shared instrumentation framework across teams. Do NOT activate when: the product has no users yet (use lean-startup instead), or the bottleneck is already obvious and obvious to fix. More: deciqai.com/s/aarrr-pirate-metrics

abductive-reasoning

deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: user says 'what's the most likely explanation,' 'why did this happen,' 'we think it's X but not sure,' 'we only have one theory,' 'the team has converged on an answer without checking alternatives,' or when diagnosing a bug/outage/symptom/anomaly under uncertainty. Do NOT activate when: the problem is purely deductive or mathematical (direct proof, not hypothesis); the situation allows direct observation or measurement that bypasses inference.

activation-onboarding-playbook

deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: signups don't turn into active/paying users; 'people sign up but don't stick', designing onboarding, improving activation; aha moment, time-to-value. Do NOT activate when: the problem is acquisition (no signups) or long-term retention of already-activated users (different lever). More: deciqai.com/s/activation-onboarding-playbook

anchoring

deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: user says 'what's a fair price / starting number / ballpark'; counterparty just opened with a number; user is about to negotiate salary, valuation, or deal terms; user is making a forecast and a number has already been floated; user asks about 'first offer', 'framing effect', or 'being anchored'. Do NOT activate when: the number in question is a verifiable data point (audited financials, confirmed comparable) and is genuinely informative; or the decision is so trivial that the economic impact of anchoring is negligible.

ansoff-matrix

deciqAI/knowledge-skills

Activate when: user says 'where should we grow next', 'should we enter a new market', 'thinking about diversifying', 'new product vs new market', 'growth strategy', 'adjacent expansion', 'Ansoff', or is spreading resources across too many directions at once. Do NOT activate when: the firm has one clear unsaturated market (answer is always penetration — no matrix needed); or the question is about portfolio allocation across existing BUs (use BCG Matrix instead).

AR & DSO Discipline — Get Paid Faster

Overview

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is the average time to collect after a sale. For any business that invoices, uncollected receivables are cash you earned but can't use — and late payment is the quiet killer of otherwise healthy SMBs. Getting paid faster is usually the cheapest source of cash a founder has: no dilution, no debt, just discipline and better terms.

The Process

Measure DSO and aging — average collection time + a bucketed aging report (0–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+).
Invoice instantly and correctly — same-day, clear terms, right contact; delays compound. Gate: invoicing days after delivery silently adds days to DSO.
Shift terms upstream — deposits, milestones, upfront, autopay/card-on-file; reduce net terms where you can.
Systematize follow-up — automated reminders before and after due date, escalating cadence (pairs with an AR/AP operator agent). Gate: ad-hoc, emotional chasing = inconsistent collections; make it a scheduled sequence.
Make paying easy — online payment, multiple methods, one click.
Enforce consequences — late fees, work-stop, or credit holds for chronic offenders; fire unprofitable late-payers.

When to Use

Cash tight while revenue looks fine
Growing overdue/aged receivables
Service/B2B businesses on net terms

Applying It Well

Deposits/upfront beat any collection tactic — design them in.
Consistent automated reminders outperform sporadic personal chasing.
Track DSO monthly as a core cash KPI, not an afterthought.

Red Flags

No aging report; not knowing who owes what.
Invoicing late or with errors that restart the clock.
Tolerating chronic late-payers without consequence.

Verification

DSO + aging report in place
Same-day accurate invoicing
Deposits/upfront/autopay applied where possible
Automated escalating follow-up sequence running
