SELECTED WORK / 01 — DECISION INTELLIGENCE
Narrative World
Modeling
Understand the world around the decision. Explore how evidence and interpretations evolve as conditions change.
The question
Institutions often have more information than they can meaningfully connect. Reports arrive from different sources, people interpret the same event differently, and the conditions behind a decision continue to move.
Our starting question is simple: how can people build a clearer account of what is changing, why it matters, and what remains uncertain?
What we are developing
Narrative World Modeling explores the relationship between evidence, interpretation, and context over time. The work aims to help decision makers examine how an account of the world is formed, what supports it, and when it may need to change.
- Connect evidence to context. Consider a signal alongside the conditions and relationships that give it meaning.
- Keep interpretations open to examination. Make room for competing explanations and their supporting evidence.
- Revisit judgment as conditions evolve. Ask what has changed and whether an earlier assumption still holds.
A strategy team is considering where to build new computing capacity. Energy availability, policy, infrastructure, and demand point in different directions. A useful inquiry would bring those relationships into view, identify competing interpretations, and specify the evidence that could change the decision.
This scenario illustrates the kind of question guiding the work.
Who it is for
Institutional leaders, strategy teams, researchers, and public organizations working through complex change. The emphasis is on supporting informed human judgment and making uncertainty easier to discuss.
