The Three Filters
Before a decision is made,
it passes through three filters.
A trust, an entity, a portfolio, a hire.
Three questions, asked in order, every time.
One · Is it integrated?
How does this one decision influence the next 10, 20, 100 decisions?
Two · Can it be simpler?
Where is the complexity that isn't earning its keep?
Three · Does it hold across generations?
Not the quarter. Not the year.
A decision that fails a filter is not ready.
We think in generations, not quarters.
