Common owner decisions
- Open a second location or stay focused.
- Hire an employee, contractor or agency.
- Change pricing, product mix or channel.
- Take capital, refinance or preserve control.
- Continue, restructure or end a partnership.
A second opinion built for decisions you cannot casually undo.
3Dogs Nexus asks clarifying questions, composes distinct analytic model seats around the same decision, assigns challenge, and returns one documented recommendation with the dissent preserved. Exact participation is established by the run record; statistical independence is not claimed. The human still decides.
Use it when the decision is material and reasonable people could disagree.
What makes a case useful
- A clear choice and decision deadline.
- Constraints, numbers and evidence you can lawfully share.
- Success and failure criteria stated before analysis.
- Willingness to expose assumptions and alternatives.
- A named human who owns the final decision.
The work
Clarify, research, debate, decide, document.
1Clarify
Nexus identifies missing facts, constraints and ambiguous goals.
2Research
Models work from the approved evidence and relevant public sources.
3Challenge
Independent positions are attacked rather than averaged.
4Synthesize
One recommendation is produced with assumptions and uncertainty.
5Preserve
Minority views and unresolved questions remain in the record.
The useful artifact is not a vote count. It is the reasoning record: what the recommendation depends on, what could reverse it, what the dissent says, and what the decision owner should verify next.
Reuse the decision discipline, not a client’s private context.
Client-specific case record
Define one client’s decision, evidence, constraints, alternatives and responsible human. Keep source authority, retention and sharing boundaries explicit; do not treat one client’s evidence as reusable for another.
Repeatable advisory method
Reuse the intake structure, challenge roles, evidence checklist, decision criteria and review cadence. The reusable asset is the method and decision template, not confidential content or an unsupported answer.
Plan boundary. Professional is published for exactly one person. Terms v1.0 lists “Entities / Organizations” as Unlimited but does not define that label; it does not establish multi-client workspaces, tenants, entitlements or data separation. Clarify scope before relying on it. Corporate provides one included shared workspace, not an unlimited number of workspaces.
The Citation Observatory decision-support analysis shows the recorded source landscape for fractional-CFO and related queries; it is not an entitlement or product-performance claim.
Professional is the direct fit for one decision-maker.
Professional is $29/month or $299/year for one person using the Nexus decision engine. The stated 30-day free Nexus trial is limited and needs no card. Corporate is $199/month or $1,999/year for unlimited people in one included shared workspace; its public catalog names Pointer monitoring, Bloodhound and Malamute as included. Commercial inclusion is PUBLISHED; service definition is UNAVAILABLE; runtime entitlement is NOT_MEASURED; always-on operation or outcome is NOT_PROMISED. Confirm activation and service scope at authorization or in a signed scope. Exact current terms and availability are controlled by the seller’s Terms of Service.
If the case involves a large private document room, custom connectors, security review, dedicated capacity or deployment inside your perimeter, use Enterprise rather than the self-service plan.
Limits
This is decision support, not delegated authority.
3Dogs does not make the decision, sign a contract, move money, hire or fire anyone, or replace qualified legal, financial, tax, medical or engineering advice. A well-documented recommendation can still be wrong. Results depend on the question, evidence, assumptions, models and time available.
