Library
One of the largest libraries of biases and heuristics we know of.
Every entry has a meaning, an example and a mitigation. Favorite the ones that trip you up.

Easy tools for tough decisions.
Make better decisions, faster. Volley shows you how. The app for everyday decisions, built for students, new hires and leaders who want the method in their pocket. It takes minutes, in the hallway between meetings.
The new Volley app is in development. When it opens, it will be free for individuals with a personal email address, any .edu address, and U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations. Teams and organizations get the full platform.
Templates
Start from the ingredients.
Each template names four weighted criteria and two public data sources per criterion, so you bring information, not just a feeling.

Before you move forward
Sharpen your decision: what would total cost of ownership look like over five years, not just the sticker price?
Outcome Journal™
Speak, don't type.
Record how you approached a decision and how you feel about it. Volley checks for bias in your own words and keeps the record, so hindsight cannot rewrite it.
DecisionDNA™
Your fingerprint for your future.
An AI-powered interview scores financial responsibility, time management, risk assessment, goal achievement and interpersonal skills. Profiles evolve; the goal is to grow.
Coach, don't decide
The app will not make the decision for you.
It brings as many resources to bear as possible, forces a stance (you cannot say everything is even), and shows you why the winner won. You stay accountable for the call.
When you need a heavy lift
Group decisions, pairwise weighting, Salesforce-native records and Volley Signals layers live in the Volley platform. Leadership teams use it for portfolio prioritization, vendor selection and promotion planning.
