SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users understand the stability and variability of decisions by running a process multiple times and analyzing the outcomes, revealing what's consistent and what changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision Landscape Mapping: Visualizes the range of possible outcomes for a given situation.
  • Variance Analysis: Identifies "eigenforms" (stable decisions) and "residues" (variable decisions).
  • Use Case: When facing a high-stakes decision with uncertain outcomes, use this Skill to probe the decision space and understand which factors are critical and which assumptions lead to different conclusions.

Quick Start

Run the probe skill on the situation described in './my-situation.md' 5 times.

FAQPage Schema
What is decision landscape mapping under uncertainty?

Decision landscape mapping reveals the structure of complex decisions under genuine uncertainty by running an iterative process multiple times. It analyzes variance reports to identify stable outcomes and variable factors, exposing load-bearing assumptions within the decision space.

How do I identify stable and variable outcomes in scenario planning?

To identify stable and variable outcomes in scenario planning, execute a composed pipeline multiple times on the target situation. Analyzing the variance reports distinguishes consistent decisions from variable ones, mapping the basins and ridges of the decision topology.

When do I need risk analysis for high-stakes decisions?

You need risk analysis for high-stakes decisions when facing genuine uncertainty and unclear outcomes. Probing the decision space multiple times reveals critical factors and identifies which assumptions lead to different conclusions, ensuring robust strategy formulation.

How to analyze variance reports to find load-bearing assumptions?

Analyze variance reports by comparing results from multiple iterative pipeline runs to find load-bearing assumptions. This process highlights structural shifts in the decision topology, categorizing outcomes into stable decisions and variable residues.

Can I use iterative refinement for complex decision-making under genuine uncertainty?

Yes, you can use iterative refinement for complex decision-making under genuine uncertainty. By executing a composed pipeline iteratively, you map the decision space to visualize possible outcomes, distinguishing stable elements from variable residues.

What are the limitations of probing a decision space iteratively?

A limitation of probing a decision space iteratively is the requirement to execute the composed pipeline multiple times, which demands significant processing overhead. Additionally, the effectiveness depends entirely on the accuracy of the initial situation description provided.
