Working Scope

Structural Diagnosis of Decision Systems

OCC examines where and under which conditions decisions actually arise within complex systems.

Der Fokus liegt nicht auf Ergebnissen oder Prozessen, sondern auf den strukturellen Bedingungen, die Entscheidungsbildung prägen.

Pre-Governance-Analyse

Bevor Governance definiert oder angewendet wird, prüft OCC, ob die zugrunde liegenden Voraussetzungen Governance überhaupt wirksam werden lassen.

The focus is not on outcomes or processes, but on the structural conditions that shape decision formation.

Audit of Decision Conditions 

OCC extends the concept of audit beyond pure outcome verification.

The focus is on whether decision processes can be understood through the conditions under which they arise – not only through the outcomes they produce.

Position 

OCC does not provide implementation or advisory services in the conventional sense.
Its work is situated prior to strategy, governance, and execution.
It addresses the conditions that determine whether these layers can function effectively at all.

When OCC becomes relevant

OCC becomes relevant when: 

- decisions appear formally clear, yet are made differently in practice
- governance structures exist, while their actual effect remains unclear
- models, processes, and human decisions operate in parallel, without a clearly identifiable point of decision
- uncertainty exists as to whether existing control mechanisms actually apply to real decision processes
