What Deep Capital is
Deep Capital® is the deep human variable that decides the quality of decisions made under pressure: decision maturity, the capacity to hold tension without reacting to it. Technology amplifies what already exists, capacity where there is maturity, risk where there is shadow. It is the category that names that variable, and its measure.
