“What’s your favourite day of the week?” I’m sitting in an Indian restaurant, sipping red wine with my boss. We’re nearing the end of the bottle, talking life and business. I’m about to surprise myself and maybe him, too. “It’s Sunday.” I pause briefly. Why did I say Sunday? It’s not an answer my boss would probably appreciate, but those few glasses of Merlot have loosened my self-control enough to be honest. “Yes, Sunday is my favourite day.” My boss nods, awaiting an answer.

I make decisions daily that lead to anxiety and regret. In 2016, this painful realisation changed everything for me.

The most expensive mistakes in business aren’t made from a lack of data. They’re made by ignoring probability. I’ve been there. Throughout my career, critical decisions cost the companies I worked in thousands—not because we lacked information, but because we never assessed likelihood. The problem? We never asked one simple question: “How likely is this?” When I finally started asking this question, everything changed. I began evaluating: Information quality What might change The outcome I...

We make fast decisions or slow decisions. It appears there is no in-between. Our future contains few absolutes. But we make our decisions based on absolutes. We see our decisions as either fast ones or slow ones. We see the odds as a yes or a no. Probabilistic thinking pushes us to see the likelihood of an outcome. But even when we see fractions or percentage odds, we don’t get them. Nate Silver famously predicted that Hilary Clinton had 66.9% chance of winning the 2016 presidential election....
