PSDA.6 - Represent Values and Trade-Offs
Type: Method pattern body
Status: Stable
Primary working result: a decision-usable value account: attributed concerns and objectives, their consequence measures, protected conditions, admitted trade-offs, unresolved…

… satisfy the elicited information but give different best alternatives. The PSDA.9 sensitivity result is therefore the threshold 15 thousand per hour, and the PSDA.14 return is the conditional set {A,C}. B cannot be best in any compatible model; D remains…

PSDA.6:4 - Solution
Recover the values behind the decision, organize them around consequences, and declare only the measurement and trade-off structure that the receiving comparison can support. Keep unresolved preferences and protected conditions visible…

PSDA.6:9 - Consequences
The comparison becomes open about what it values and what it cannot exchange. Simplifying the account can reduce burden without losing material distinctions. Some decisions remain partially ordered or disputed; that is a truthful…

PSDA.6:10 - Rationale
Value representation makes consequences decision-relevant without confusing description with preference or preference with permission. Concrete trade-off questions expose assumptions hidden by criterion labels. Preserving multiple…

Force Tension Completeness and usability Material values must remain visible, while an enormous hierarchy burdens elicitation and repeats consequences.
Measurement and meaning Observable measures help comparison, while easily measured…

PSDA.6:2 - Problem
Criteria can appear neutral while deciding the result. “Install more pumps” embeds an action in an objective. “Service quality” may count the same avoided outage again under reliability, satisfaction, and reputation. Equal weights may…

PSDA.6:6 - Bias-Annotation
Scope: value representation for one bounded comparison. Lenses: Onto/Epist separates concern, measure, preference, and obligation; Prag preserves decision relevance; Gov exposes representation and authority; Did makes trade-offs…

PSDA.6:5.3 - Cheap non-use
Two qualified replacement parts have the same relevant consequences except for a directly comparable resource cost, and the authorized recipient’s cost preference is already explicit. Reuse that account. An objectives hierarchy and…

PSDA.12 may supply the participation and concern account that changes the value question. That contribution is not already a weight set or a collective mandate.
PSDA.8 consumes the value account and its admitted preference relation for…

PSDA.6:7 - Conformance Checklist
Values are attributed to the relevant subjects and receiving comparison, with representation limits intact.
Objectives and possible means remain distinct at the grain that changes the decision.

PSDA.6:1 - Problem frame
Use this when a scorecard’s criteria came from a template, “importance” weights have no stated meaning, or the same benefit appears under several headings. Also use it when people agree that reliability, development, safety, or…

PSDA.6:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
Anti-pattern Repair “Everyone agrees safety is important, so give it twenty percent.” Recover the actual condition, its source, and whether compensation is permitted.
“Equal weights are neutral.” State…

Ask the value holder to compare concrete consequence profiles, with the same people, horizon and conditions in view. Record whether one profile is no worse, strictly better, or indifferent to…
