Decisagent working decision ontology · v0.4
Start with the decision.
Products are useful only in relation to a decision someone is accountable for. These working archetypes describe the evidence, alternatives, objectives, constraints, uncertainty, and consequences that agentic decision support must handle. Their maturity starting points are documented working design assumptions—not universal facts or product classifications.
