When you’re up against a capable adversary, winning may need more than tactics – time. Whoever controls the tempo controls the fight.

By altering when the enemy makes decisions, speeding some events up and delaying others – you can overload their cognition, jam their judgment, and seize the initiative.

This is the essence of Enemy Decision-Cycle Manipulation, tradecraft focused on shaping how and when your opponent decides. The idea is you control tempo and expectation until the enemy’s OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is operating at your mercy.

Controlling tempo and expectation is one of the purest forms of psychological dominance (PSYOPS). Instead of just reacting on basic level, you’re shaping how your adversary experiences time itself. Master this tradecraft, and you’ll rarely need to outmuscle anyone. You’ll simply make them decide wrong, too fast, or too late.
