Explore the decision engineering approach behind Hermod’s platform: make objectives and evidence explicit, compare alternatives within real constraints, and examine the tradeoffs behind everyday choices and larger plans.
The seven-part series
The series develops one inventory example before extending the approach to evidence, responsibility, and revision. It offers a route into a broader question: what makes a decision supportable when people can examine and challenge its basis?
01–05
The first five articles use the inventory example to examine what a plan needs, how its parts depend on one another, and what changes when a different option is chosen.
Build the reasoning one relationship at a time.
06
Extend the plan beyond its intended outcome. Consider what supports a claim, what still needs to be checked, and who is responsible for following through.
Make the work behind a conclusion visible.
07
Return to the relationships behind a decision when new information arrives. Identify which assumptions and conclusions need another look.
Keep the reasoning open to revision.
