Decision Timing Mismatch

Adan DeJans Jr. shared another experience from the trenches of real-world decision-making. “The model assumes decisions are made at a clean point in time, with clean information. But reality doesn’t work that way. Data arrives late, decisions are staggered, overrides happen mid-cycle, and yesterday’s “final” plan quietly becomes today’s suggestion. If your optimization assumes a single moment of truth, it will always feel brittle in production, no matter how optimal the solution looks on paper.Link
