Methodologies for high-stakes decisions

Decision Architecture™ is SP’s shared system of thinking. It connects situational analysis, the coordinates of a choice, the decision and subsequent actions.

Working with information starts with facts and assumptions. Beyond collecting data, it is important to see connections between factors, gaps and the limits of the analysis.

• What is known about the situation?
• Which assumptions underpin the decision?
• What information is still needed?

Scenario analysis explores alternative courses of action, their risks and possible consequences. The chosen decision is considered alongside other options, not in isolation.

• What alternatives exist?
• What changes under different assumptions?
• Which consequences need to be considered before choosing?

AI strengthens analysis and human expertise. It does not replace the decision maker or the expert’s final position.

Human Intelligence + Technology + Decision Architecture

Methodologies are applied in the context of the business and the decision. The public description explains the purpose of the system without disclosing internal formulas or proprietary mechanisms.

Technology, information and scenarios provide a foundation for professional judgement. Responsibility for the final choice is not transferred to an analytical tool.

AI strengthens the expert. It does not replace them.

Second Opinion examines a decision’s logic, assumptions, economics, risks, alternatives and consequences. The client receives an independent position for the final choice.

A second opinion reviews the decision, not the person.
