Shared Deliberation
A model for designing systems that support consequential decisions requiring more than one perspective.
Consequential decisions, for example, medical treatment, financial planning, legal strategy, rarely belong to a single person. They involve multiple participants who each hold partial information, different stakes, and different levels of domain knowledge. Systems designed for a single decision-maker fail in these contexts not because the interface is wrong but because the model of who is deciding is wrong.
