Izlemine

Izlemine is a term used in decision-making and information design to describe the process of selecting among alternatives based on predefined criteria. The concept emphasizes how options are generated, how information is gathered and weighed, and how final choices are formed. It is discussed across disciplines such as cognitive psychology, operations research, and human-computer interaction to improve transparency, consistency, and traceability in decisions.

The izlemine process typically involves several stages. First, goals and constraints are articulated. Next, evaluative criteria are identified and weighted if needed. Then options are generated and screened. Each option is assessed against the criteria, and scores or rankings are produced through scoring models, multi-criteria analysis, or optimization methods. The final step is the selection of a course of action, sometimes followed by a post-decision review to assess outcomes and learning.

Contexts in which izlemine is applied include corporate strategy, public policy, product design, and user-interface design. In technology and software, izlemine-guided design helps present clear choices to users, provide explanations for why certain options are recommended, and reduce cognitive load by filtering and prioritizing alternatives.

Relation to other concepts is common. Izlemine is distinguished from simple preference or elimination by its emphasis on explicit criteria, structured evaluation, and auditability. Related methods include multi-criteria decision analysis, decision trees, and scoring models. Critics note potential biases from criterion selection, weighting, and information asymmetry, underscoring the need for transparency and regular re-evaluation.
