Glossary

A shared vocabulary
for decision intelligence

Terms from the book, and from the broader world of AI
and decision-making, defined in plain language.

Decision Intelligence

The discipline of thinking clearly about how decisions actually get made in organizations, and building the systems that help good evidence turn into good outcomes.

The CLEAR Decision Model

A five-step framework, Context, Leverage, Evidence, Alignment, Resolution, for preparing, presenting, and closing the loop on any consequential decision.

The AI Judgment Gap

The widening distance between how easy AI has made it to produce evidence and how hard it still is to know what to do with it. As evidence gets cheaper, judgment gets more valuable, not less.

Automation Bias

The tendency to over-trust a recommendation simply because it came from a model or algorithm, even when a person would ask harder questions of a human making the same claim.

Human-in-the-Loop

An approach to AI systems that keeps a person actively reviewing and approving key outputs, rather than letting the system act on its own, especially for high-stakes decisions.

Prompt Engineering

The practice of crafting clear, well-structured instructions for an AI system so it returns sharper, more useful, and more decision-ready output.
