analyze

Turn gathered research into the analysis a decision rests on: a framed problem, criteria frozen before any option exists, options measured one at a time, a decision matrix, and one committed course with its uncertainty stated. Fires on "what should we do", "which of these", "why did this happen", "how likely is it", and "what is it worth", whenever the answer will be handed to someone who was not in the session. Not for gathering the facts, and not for writing the report that carries the answer.
