The Decision Ladder

Set the facts of one decision. The instrument names the cheapest rung that can settle it, who has to authorize the act, the rules that fired with their numbers, and the training record rule 5 writes for the rung below.

Every rung, rule and state below is quoted from the manual, §13 Decision Systems.

    Rule 5 turns escalations into training data. The shortcut below is what a promotion looks like when it is made from exact-evidence cases only. Replay the same case through it and see what the ladder would have done instead.
