On Judgment

A YouTube channel for people who run things

Better judgment for operators, one law at a time.

Every other week, On Judgment takes one law, model, or framework and shows it with real numbers. Then it shows exactly where the idea breaks.

    Theory of Constraints

    Why the narrowest step decides how fast everything moves.

Real numbers

Every idea is worked through with concrete numbers you can check on the back of an envelope.

Where it breaks

Every model has limits. Each episode ends with when the rule quietly gives the wrong answer.

Something to try

One exercise you can run this week on a queue, a team, or a decision you own.
