Decision framing: Clarify the decision, the available options, the relevant stakeholders, and the questions that need answering.
← Solutions Overview
Decision Briefs and Decision Sessions
Turn complex evidence into a decision people can understand and act on. SustematiQ helps organisations bring together research, stakeholder perspectives, uncertainties, risks, options, and trade offs into concise decision briefs and structured decision sessions.
Why it matters
More information does not automatically create a better decision.
Important decisions often involve fragmented evidence, competing stakeholder perspectives, incomplete information, uncertainty, and limited time. The challenge is not only collecting more information. It is identifying what matters, what remains uncertain, what the options imply, and where judgement is required.
When this is useful
Decision support can be useful when leadership needs to choose between options, a programme must prioritise interventions, a consortium needs alignment, an innovation decision involves significant uncertainty, research findings need to inform action, or multiple stakeholders see the problem differently.
How SustematiQ helps
Structure the evidence around the decision rather than around the volume of information available.
Evidence synthesis: Bring together research, stakeholder evidence, internal knowledge, assumptions, and relevant external information.
Options and consequences: Structure the implications, benefits, risks, dependencies, uncertainties, and trade offs associated with different choices.
Stakeholder perspective: Make visible where stakeholders align, disagree, experience different consequences, or hold different levels of influence.
Decision briefs: Convert complex material into a concise document focused on the decision, evidence, options, uncertainties, and implications.
Decision sessions: Facilitate structured sessions where participants examine evidence, surface different perspectives, clarify trade offs, and determine what requires further investigation or action.
