Comparison
DecisionOS vs Cloverpop
Cloverpop is a broad decision intelligence platform that covers many decision types across an organisation. DecisionOS takes the opposite bet: deep specialisation for enterprise technology buying decisions made by CISOs and CIOs, with NIS2 / DORA / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 scopes pre-mapped and EU-only hosting. Different strategies, different fits.
TL;DR
Cloverpop covers many decision types broadly. DecisionOS covers enterprise technology decisions deeply.

How DecisionOS is different
Cloverpop bets on breadth. DecisionOS bets on depth: one sharp category (enterprise technology decisions), one strict geography (EU), one audience (CISO / CIO) and the compliance scope that audience lives inside. Depth wins when that audience is yours.
Questions we get about this
Can DecisionOS handle non-technology decisions?
DecisionOS is optimised for enterprise technology buying decisions. The decision pattern generalises, but depth of fit drops outside that scope.
Why is EU hosting such a differentiator?
For NIS2, DORA and many sovereign-cloud workloads, EU-only data residency is a dealbreaker, not a preference. DecisionOS treats that as architectural, not configurable.
Where is DecisionOS hosted?
Entirely in the EU (Hetzner, Nuremberg, Germany). No application data leaves the European Union. Analytics is self-hosted and cookie-free. A data processing agreement per Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.
