About Scott Sellers

I\'m building Ridgeline Systems — an AI-native platform that helps PE partners, corporate executives, and M&A advisors make high-stakes decisions through structured analysis. Think of it as translating the decision-making discipline of military operations into software.The Ridgeline Decision Architecture (RDA) is a 17-step methodology that orchestrates 30+ established decision frameworks into a single workflow, producing boardroom-ready executive briefs with assumption risk profiles, fragility analysis, and invalidation conditions. The engineering challenge is real: 41–49 LLM calls per decision with confidence-calibrated analysis depth, archetype-specific prompt chains, and multilingual support.29+ years of active duty military service — started enlisted, commissioned as an officer, graduated from the National War College. Every assignment reinforced the same lesson: structured decision-making under pressure is a trainable discipline, not an innate talent. Ridgeline exists to bring that discipline to investment teams and executive leadership.Looking for: a technical co-founder with LLM orchestration experience and early-stage startup DNA. If you\'ve built complex AI workflows and want to build the decision architecture platform for the executive market, let\'s talk.Also looking to connect with: PE operating partners, management consultants, and corporate strategy leaders who make high-stakes decisions regularly and would be interested in piloting the product.\"This does three things: attracts co-founder candidates, signals to investors that you\'re building, and opens the door for pilot customer conversations.
