RAIFFA Platform Guide

RAIFFA supports the decision without making it, laying options side by side with their assumptions, dependencies, and what breaks if an assumption is wrong. No rankings.

It reviews required resources and time, expected effects and trade-offs, counterevidence, and conditions for reassessment.

Define the question and review scope. Then place the people, time, resources, hard constraints, supporting evidence, and counterevidence behind each option side by side, in the same order.

Question

The decision and its review scope

Option

A possible configuration with distinct conditions and constraints

Evidence

Records that support or challenge an option

Connect new material to the assumption it changes. Missing evidence remains missing, options are not ranked, and none is presented as an automatic winner.

RAIFFA presents the evidence and unverified conditions behind options. Accountable people decide, and that decision leads to an approval record of who approved what and on what basis. RAIFFA does not grant approval or issue execution orders.
