WHAT IF
What if we could use a software infrastructure to develop a culture that makes high-quality decision products a priority – as if facts, logic, future consequences, and preserving the integrity of those decisions are factors that matter?

WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO
Our objectives were to assess the human and technical infrastructure required to support the systematic construction of complex group-decision products and the procedures necessary to ensure their long-term integrity.

WHAT WE FOUND
We developed and demonstrated a decision- products methodology and initial virtual decision support environment and held two workshops on augmented decision systems using this methodology. We prototyped a cloud-based course that can be used to evaluate educational, technical and institutional mechanisms required to ensure the long-term integrity of intellectual work products, and we demonstrated the effectiveness of this process.
