What you know without knowing you know it

AI recommendation systems process millions of variables to suggest the best possible decision. They're faster than any human, more consistent, less affected by the mood of the day. In many contexts, they're better at making decisions.

And yet the best strategists have something no system can replicate yet: the ability to know when not to follow the recommendation. To feel something is wrong before being able to explain why. To act on a signal that isn't yet a data point.

Intuition isn't the opposite of data. It's years of accumulated data that the brain processes faster than consciousness can follow.

The problem isn't trusting your intuition. It's not knowing when to trust it and when not to.
