Planning & Decision-Making

Edited by August Morley last updated 29th Aug 2025

Planning is the process of identifying a sequence of actions for realizing a goal.

Decision-Making is the process of selecting a subset of potential actions (often just one) from a set of options.

Posts marked with this tag are for theory and techniques for optimizing planning and decision-making processes along dimensions of speed, efficiency, effectiveness at realizing values, etc.
