Capable people with good information still make bad decisions. What Are We Missing? examines real, documented failures, from Deepwater Horizon to Theranos, and sets out PRISM, the author's own method for asking what is missing before a decision that matters: Problem Framing, Research, Interpretation and Synthesis, with Metacognition running throughout. For managers, doctors, founders and anyone whose wrong call is paid for by someone else. Planned for 13 February 2027.
