decisionsare

Decisionsare is a neologism that appears in discussions of decision theory, governance, and AI ethics to refer to concepts, frameworks, or discourse that treat decisions as the central object of study. The term is not part of a formal theory and has no universally accepted definition, but it is used to signal a focus on why decisions are made and what results they produce.

Usage contexts include online forums, experimental research notes, and emerging policy discussions. It is sometimes presented as a shorthand for a decision-centric approach to data collection, modeling, and evaluation, where the emphasis is on documenting the decision context, rationale, trade-offs, and observed outcomes rather than treating outcomes as mere afterthoughts.

Core ideas associated with decisionsare include: (1) decision documentation, creating an auditable trace of choices; (2) outcome-oriented evaluation, comparing predicted and actual results; (3) transparency and accountability for decision-makers; and (4) interdisciplinary applicability across fields such as AI, public policy, and management analytics. Proponents argue that such framing can improve reproducibility and learning from mistakes; critics warn that the term lacks precision and may blend multiple concepts.

Because decisionsare is not a formal theory, references are sparse and definitions vary by author. It remains a descriptive label rather than a unified methodology. See also decision theory, decision making, explainable AI, and auditability.
