§ID & TitleStatusKeywords & Search QueriesDependencies
1PSDA.1 - Generate Plural Problem FormulationsStableformulation, framing, rival accounts. Which materially different formulations change what to investigate?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
2PSDA.2 - Set and Reopen the Problem BoundaryStableboundary, scope, exclusions. What must the inquiry include, and what would reopen its cut?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
3PSDA.3 - Construct Complementary Situation and Option ModelsStablemodels, claims, assumptions, losses. Which complementary models answer the question without hiding their differences?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
4PSDA.4 - Select Problem-Structuring Methods and Combine Them When NeededStablePSM, combination, fit. Which problem-structuring and analytical ways supply the missing result?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
5PSDA.5 - Generate Decision AlternativesStablealternatives, mechanisms, incumbent. Which complete decision alternatives differ usefully?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
6PSDA.6 - Represent Values and Trade-OffsStablevalues, objectives, trade-offs. What matters, and what must not be compensated away?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
7PSDA.7 - Represent Decision-Relevant Uncertainty and Evidence LimitsStableuncertainty, evidence, scenarios. Which unknown can change the comparison?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
8PSDA.8 - Compare Consequences of Decision AlternativesStableconsequences, comparison, partial order. What follows under the same conditions and declared rule?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
9PSDA.9 - Test Robustness and Sensitivity of Decision Alternatives and Their ComparisonStablerobustness, sensitivity, reversal. Where does the conclusion hold or reverse?Relevant inquiry inputs; FPF and subject Methods under their conditions; PSDA.12, PSDA.13 for professional participation when needed.
10PSDA.11 - Bound the Decision-Support Engagement and Authority BoundaryStableengagement, authority, recipient. What advice is needed, for whom, and who makes the later choice?FPF A.15.9, A.10, C.11; PSDA.12, PSDA.1, PSDA.2 when participation, formulations or scope remain live.
11PSDA.12 - Recover Participants, Concerns, and Affected Systems for a Decision-Support InquiryStableparticipants, concerns, affected Systems. Whose consequential concern or absence could change the inquiry?Uses the bounded PSDA.11 question; FPF A.1.CSD for consequence-bearer discovery.
12PSDA.13 - Facilitate Decision-Support Inquiry and Preserve Material DissentStablefacilitation, attribution, meaning, dissent. What can participants recognize and what remains materially contested?PSDA.12, PSDA.1, PSDA.2 when live; FPF A.2.9; specialist truth and authority remain direct returns.
