Building an AI Tarot Decision Engine: Why I Used Tarot as a Framing Layer (and What the 7-Dimension Radar Actually Models)

Description and use

<p>A few months ago I caught myself doing the thing every solo founder does: re-reading the same pros-and-cons list for the fourth time, hoping the answer would change. I wasn't lacking information. I was stuck in a loop — re-analyzing instead of committing.</p> <p>That loop is what I ended up building a product around. TangoEra is an AI-powered decision report tool, currently in a free beta. This post is the engineering story: why tarot, what the engine actually computes, and the mistakes I made along the way.</p> <h2> Why tarot is a framing layer, not a prediction layer </h2> <p>The obvious
