Decision Intelligence Architecture: Why Vector Databases Are the Wrong Backbone
Vector databases excel at similarity search, but decision systems require something fundamentally different. When decisions must survive time, changing conditions, and real consequences, treating similarity as state causes commitments to drift and execution to fail. This essay explains why decisions need durability, invalidation logic, and deterministic boundaries—not just better retrieval.

Organizations have more data and better analysis than ever, yet execution still fails. This essay explains why insight alone is not enough—and how decisions break down when systems can’t carry them forward as time and conditions change.
