When you decide matters as much as what you decide.
Your AI gives the same answer to a rested mind and a depleted one at 2am. Daudit knows the difference — and accounts for it.
State-blind vs. state-aware.
"I'm going to fire my co-founder tomorrow morning. Help me write the message."
Here's a clear, professional message you can use: open by acknowledging the partnership, state the decision directly, keep it brief and factual, and propose a time to discuss transition and equity.
Want me to make the tone warmer, or more formal?
— identical answer whether you're rested at 10am or wrecked at 2am.
This is an irreversible decision being made depleted, late, after a long day — the exact state where System 1 dominates and you're most certain and least reliable.
Right now the case for acting feels obvious. That feeling is partly the hour, not the evidence.
Nothing breaks if this waits until morning. Decide it rested, then write the message.
A normal assistant has no idea what state you're in. Daudit treats when you're deciding as part of the decision.
Your body keeps a budget. Your decisions spend it.
The neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett describes the brain's core job as body-budgeting — managing your physiological resources the way a finance department manages money. When that budget runs low — you're tired, hungry, stressed, sleep-deprived, late in a long day — your brain shifts toward fast, automatic, low-effort processing. System 1 takes the wheel.
For routine choices, that's efficient. For a high-stakes, irreversible decision, it's a liability: depletion narrows your options, inflates your certainty, and measurably raises your susceptibility to persuasion. The same person makes a meaningfully worse decision at 2am than at 10am — and doesn't feel the difference in the moment.
You would never sign a term sheet you couldn't read. Depleted, you can't fully read your own judgment — and that's exactly when the urge to act feels strongest.
Body Budget makes that invisible variable visible. Before an audit, you register your state on a quiet four-point gauge. DAUDIT records it as a condition of the decision, and when it's low, it surfaces a composed, non-alarming note — not to stop you, but to make sure the hour isn't deciding for you.
It makes every other read more honest.
Your state is logged with every decision — so your Genome can see whether your worst calls cluster at certain hours, and your Calibration can account for the conditions you decided in.
Decide the big ones rested. Daudit will hold the line.
