Notes on why certain decisions are never truly finalized, what shifted once the entire system could be mapped, and what it means to institutionalize a function rather than simply provide an answer.

The analytical family would be chosen after the decision is formulated
In the Analytical Transition examples, optimization appears in 5 of the 6 functions. That assignment is our own proposal. To choose among alternatives, the decision-maker would first have to write down what is maximized or minimized and which constraints apply. The analytical family would be deduced from that problem. In Capital Allocation, finite capital would be distributed among alternatives. In Capital Projects, the configuration of a physical system would be decided. Opt
A use case that originates in the decision would have someone accountable for its improvement from the start
If the person who approves the use case starts with the decision, that person could set the decision owner and its criterion before choosing what to do with the data. A use case that originates in the data could produce an indicator, a dashboard, or a forecast. One that originates in the decision would seek to change a criterion and record the result. Both paths could improve a decision. A use case that originates in the formulation could also stall at a dashboard if its impl
The Digital Transition got the data ready; the decision it was meant to improve would start with its formulation
