Detecting Decision Readiness with Reasoner
Beyond What People Say

Most people think they know when someone is ready to decide. Reasoner reveals the gap between what people say about their decisions and where they actually stand in their decision process—uncovering the hesitation hidden behind confident words and the certainty masked by cautious language.

How We Decode Decision Readiness

Reasoner analyzes the subtle language patterns that reveal true decision confidence, risk tolerance, and commitment levels. We detect when someone says they’re “definitely interested” but their language shows they’re still evaluating alternatives, or when cautious language actually masks strong conviction.

⚠️

Hedging Language

Uncertainty Hidden in Words

Detects qualifying statements that reduce commitment: “somewhat,” “possibly,” “might consider,” and other uncertainty markers


What This Reveals: Hidden hesitation or concerns that could derail progress if left unaddressed

💪

Confidence Markers

Genuine Conviction vs. Politeness

Identifies declarative statements, commitment language, and absence of qualifiers that show true certainty


What This Reveals: The difference between genuine commitment and polite agreement

Decisive Language

Ready to Move Forward

Recognizes firm decisions through definitive statements, action-oriented phrasing, and clear timelines


What This Reveals: When someone is truly ready to commit versus just considering options

🤔

Hesitation Markers

Unspoken Reluctance

Spots uncertainty through qualifiers, extended deliberation language, and commitment avoidance


What This Reveals: Decision reluctance and potential concerns not being directly expressed

Reading Between the Lines

What they say: “This looks like it could work for us”

What we detect: Hedging language (“could”) combined with tentative phrasing suggests they’re still evaluating rather than committing, despite positive sentiment.

What to do: Address their specific concerns before pushing for a decision.

The Decision Intelligence Advantage

Traditional analysis tells you what someone says about their decision. Reasoner shows you where they actually stand in their decision process, how they really feel about risk, and what timing approach will work best with their natural decision-making style.

Why This Matters

Misreading decision readiness is costly. Push too hard with someone who needs time to deliberate, and you’ll trigger their risk aversion. Move too slowly with a fast decider, and they’ll lose interest. Our intelligence helps you match their actual decision process, not their stated timeline.
