I agree with your model. I am just curious if you have done any measurement of how effective or efficient the decisions made with your models are?

Measuring Decision Making
by: Dee Reavis

I have not done any actual studies to compare logical decision making with emotion based decision making. However, you can see people around you who make decisions without data gathering and logic. The decisions are usually bad.

In order to make decisions without a reasoned logical data gathering approach, you need a lot of experience. That means you have to be trained to react a certain way in a given set of circumstances. Then you must make a lot of mistakes along the way before you become a good quick decision maker. Good examples of this kind of decision maker are military commanders. They often don't have time for data gathering and logical decision making. Any feasible decision, in a military situation, is better than waiting for the best decision. But to do so effectively takes a lot of training and quite a few mistakes. Without that training and experience the best approach is a rational methodical approach to decision making. To get predictable results, you need to avoid the off the cuff decision.
