When I began this project, Decisional faced several challenges with the existing platform:
Complex Information Architecture: Platform handles multiple data formats (PDFs, Excel, Word, PowerPoint) while needing to keep everything organized and accessible.
Power User Experience: Unlike consumer AI products, Decisional needed sophisticated capabilities for finance professionals without overwhelming them.
Source Transparency: Users required clear links between AI-generated insights and original source materials - critical for trust in financial analysis.
Balancing Real Estate: Decisional required multiple interfaces (source viewers, AI memos, spreadsheets, chat) to coexist without feeling cramped
