Lead with “decision intelligence”

RegretA real decision from building Decize, written down before the outcome.
The decision
Use “Decision Intelligence for Organizations” as the tagline, the page title and the meta description.
Why, at the time
It sounded like an established category, and being in a category people already search for seemed safer than inventing a name.
What happened
It is an enterprise business-intelligence category owned by companies with sales teams and a decade of backlinks. Unwinnable for a product with no customers, and the traffic it does attract is looking for dashboards. Replaced the next day with the terms an operations lead actually types.
Lesson
Picking a category you cannot rank in is choosing to be invisible in a respectable-sounding way.
