A computer implemented method of predicting decisions uses the knowledge
of one or more individuals. The individuals, referred to as a team, are
knowledgeable about the domain in which decisions are being made. The
team individually rates the importance of decision criteria they deem
relevant. They then rate the extent which multiple problem
characteristics are deemed relevant to the decision. The ratings are
subjected to automated quantitative analysis for consistency, and the
raters may discuss and modify inconsistent ratings if appropriate. Once
the ratings are accepted, the raters then rate the decision options
against the highest scoring problem characteristics as determined in the
initial ratings. After one or more further rounds of consistency
evaluations, the highest rated options are selected as the prediction of
the decision to made by the adversary.
