Informedness
The extent to which those making decisions understand the information critical to making that decision.
To what extent:
- Do participants gain critical context about tradeoffs and consequences of different decisions?
- Is this sourced from:
- Experts?
- The existing authorities, who may have extensive context?
- A broad diversity of constituents?
- The most impacted stakeholders?
- The powerful stakeholders, whose incentives are critical to having the decision “stick”?
