Decision Models: Patterns instead of Appellation Knowledge

The standard

A disclosed decision sequence names the ranking of its goals for the case in which two of them cannot be reached at once. Without that ranking, every justification remains retrospective.

Criteria

  • The goals are named, not the results alone
  • Conflicts between goals are decided, not concealed
  • The moment of each decision is traceable
  • Deviations from the pattern carry their own justification

Distinction

Decision model ≠ appellation membership: an origin designation regulates boundaries, not priorities. Decision model ≠ style: style is the result a disclosed decision sequence leaves behind, not its standard.
