Timely Intervention serves the exact same role as Lucky!, a dedicate that you play retroactively when you're about to fail a test, thereby freeing you to take multiple tests with less risk rather than overdedicating on a single test to make it less likely for you to fail. For the low cost of a card and no resources in your hand (or in Isabelle Barnes' case, a single point of sanity since you can retroactively dedicate Timely Intervention from your discard pile), you have a floating +2 on all Agility and Will tests, and a +1 for everything else.
Who would complain about a 3rd or 4th copy of Lucky! in your deck?
Izzie cannot retroactively commit timely intervention from her discard

Why is that? I’m going to assume it’s because her ability doesn’t specifically say “play as if it was as in your hand”, and TI specifically states “from hand”?

You can play it from the discard pile because this card says "You may commit", meaning you can choose not to play it after revealing the chaos token, but still play it as a normal ability card, and in that case you can play it with Isabelle's ability (but before revealing the chaos token)
