The Oxygen 425 is a curated mix of founders, operators, investors, and advisors.
They are not theoretical experts. They are the people others call when a decision carries weight.
Across different industries and deal environments, they share one thing: they have lived the consequences of decisions that looked simple on paper.
We built the Oxygen Boardroom on top of these patterns from day one.
This was not added later as marketing. It was the starting architecture.
How it was built
We captured decision reality from multiple angles, including:
Live briefs and the constraints behind them
Meeting outcomes and what changed after the meeting
Investment committee packs and the arguments inside them
Call notes, follow ups, and the assumptions that quietly formed
Post mortems when a call landed, and when it did not
Those inputs were distilled into repeatable patterns:
what leaders ask first
what they avoid saying out loud
where trade offs hide
what tends to break later
which risks are real, and which are noise
Where the Oxygen 425 came from
In February 2023, we began building the Oxygen 425 by building relationships first, not recruiting names.
The Oxygen 425 became a curated cohort of founders, operators, investors, and advisors who are called when decisions carry weight.
They were handpicked against a high bar. Evidence of lived calls under pressure. A track record of carrying consequences. Clear ownership of outcomes. Calm judgement in complex rooms.
How we captured decision reality
We captured decision reality from multiple angles, so the room would learn how serious leaders actually reason, not how they describe reasoning after the fact.
Live briefs and constraints.
Meeting outcomes.
Investment committee packs.
Call notes and follow ups.
Post mortems when a call landed, and when it did not.
That raw material was distilled into repeatable patterns that help the room challenge framing, surface the real trade offs, and separate signal from noise.
The Oxygen 425 is ongoing, not frozen. As new decisions are worked, the pattern library is refined to stay grounded in what actually works when pressure is high and time is limited.
From first use to full sign off
This was a value exchange.
In return for substantial time and input from them and their teams, the Oxygen 425 received lifetime access to the boardroom.
In February 2024, the first working version of the Oxygen Boardroom went into live use with the Oxygen 425 and their teams only. They were the first decision makers to run real calls through the room, and their feedback shaped how the room challenges a brief.
Internal build completed by Feb 2025, with live decision testing across multiple sessions.
Why we stay small, on purpose
From there, we expanded carefully through a small number of handpicked client relationships, because this is not a mass market software product.
It is a private decision relationship.
Depth beats volume.
A boardroom grade outcome requires context, continuity, and trust. That only happens when we can stay close to the decision, close to the leadership team, and close to the consequences.
We do not try to serve everyone.
We serve the leaders who value disciplined thinking, clear trade-offs, and proof they can stand on when the call is live.
Choosing to remain small is not a limitation.
It is the design.
Privacy is part of that design too. The room is built to support serious decision making without exposing what should stay private.
They were the first users
Before the Oxygen Boardroom was offered publicly, the Oxygen 425 served as the initial cohort.
Internal build completed by Feb 2025, with live decision testing across multiple sessions.
Their lived habits became the backbone the system reads against.
This is why the output feels less like generic AI and more like a serious room that knows what tends to happen next.
Ongoing, not frozen
The Oxygen 425 is continuously improved through live decision work.
As new decisions are worked, the pattern library is refined. Not to chase trends. To stay grounded in what actually works when pressure is high and time is limited.
How the Oxygen 425 is used in a session
Step 1 We start with the desired outcome. What does a win look like, specifically. Why is it beneficial. Who is it beneficial for.
Step 2 We test feasibility and constraints. If the desired outcome is not feasible, we find the nearest viable version of the win. If it is feasible, we clarify the true constraints and what must be protected.
Step 3 We work the decision through eight executive lenses. Finance, risk, growth, strategy, market, people, execution, attention. The goal is not more content. The goal is a cleaner, defendable call.
What you get in one Oxygen Brief
You leave with one Oxygen Brief that is built to be used in serious rooms.
It includes:
The decision framed in plain language
The desired outcome and success definition
Who benefits, and what must be true for it to be real
The key trade offs, including what you give up
Risks, second order effects, and what tends to break later
Guardrails and non negotiables
The recommended path, plus viable alternatives
A 90 day path, a six month path, a one year path, and a two year path
What to measure, what to watch, and what would change the call
Why this is different from generic AI
Generic AI tends to follow the prompt.
The Oxygen 425 exists to challenge the prompt.
It is built from lived decision habits, not only language patterns. So it can surface the missing question, the hidden constraint, and the real trade off before capital moves and people move.
Privacy and confidentiality
We do not publish client decisions. We do not train public models on your decision content. The room is designed to support serious decision making without exposing what should stay private.

Give the decision Oxygen
If one decision will not let you breathe, you should not have to carry it alone.
