## Resource

Decision Intelligence moves beyond static dashboards by using graph analytics and entity resolution to provide actionable context. This approach enables organizations to automate complex decisions in regulated environments like fraud detection and compliance.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Decision Intelligence shifts the focus from simple data-driven insights to making optimized decisions based on deep contextual relationships
- Practical takeaway: Use entity resolution to unify disparate records—like 'James' and 'Jamie'—into a single, trusted view of truth
- Failure mode: Relying on black-box deep learning in regulated industries can be impossible due to the lack of explainability required for compliance
- Technical strategy: Augment internal data warehouses with third-party sources like corporate registries to enrich entity profiles and uncover hidden networks
- Future trend: Integrating graph-based context into LLM workflows can significantly reduce hallucinations by providing grounded, structural information

## Topics

Decision Intelligence, Graph Analytics, Entity Resolution, Fraud Detection, Data Governance, LLM Hallucinations, Context Engineering, Data Products
