Fusion-cell redesign at a coalition joint HQ
Six-week programme to redesign the fusion cell against the threshold decisions the HQ owned, with new Decision Support Requirement templates and a revised gate structure.
Decision Architecture · Capability 04
Staff design for decision dominance.
IDDI, Problem-Centric Analysis and the KASNIAN framework, applied to the structural design of staff and HQs. We build the decision web on which multi-domain ISR can actually act — under uncertainty, at tempo, with audit.
What we deliver
The specific offerings.
- IDDI methodology rollout. Integrated Decision-Driven ISR adoption for HQs and ISR commands — doctrine, training, and tooling.
- Problem-Centric Analysis (PCA) workshops. Defining the threshold problem the commander must resolve, and the analytical chain that supports it.
- KASNIAN framework deployment. Mapping Key actors, Alliances, Structures, Norms, Interests, Attitudes and Networks within a defined problem.
- Threshold-verdict methodology. Operationalising the Activity / Attribution / Intent-or-Effect convergence test, anchored to the UK PHIA Probability Yardstick.
- Staff design review. Structural assessment of HQ design against the decisions it must support — with concrete restructuring recommendations.
How we do it
Methodology.
Most ISR transformation programmes fail not at the tooling layer but at the staff-design layer. The right architecture starts from a clear-sighted view of the threshold decisions the HQ owns, then designs the analytical chain, the gates, and the audit trail backwards from those decisions.
IDDI’s operating logic — Understand, Decide, Effect — is recursive, not linear. We design staff structures that can survive that recursion under time pressure: with named Decision Support Requirements, a confidence ladder, Human Gates, and a Decision Trace that every product can be walked back to.
KASNIAN provides the analytical lens for the decision ecosystem inside a given problem; PCA defines the problem itself; threshold-evidence logic provides the judgement mechanism. Together they form a deployable framework that we have used to redesign ISR cells, fusion cells and joint targeting boards.
