METIS

METIS is Babadook's foundational decision-science core. It structures alternatives, constraints, preferences, uncertainty and authority before a recommendation is allowed to appear.

The core supports value and utility models, outranking, compromise methods, robust ordinal regression, stochastic acceptability, regret, deep uncertainty, group choice and value-of-information analysis. It preserves vetoes, incomparability, dissent and sensitivity instead of forcing every decision into one weighted score.

A recommendation remains distinct from commitment and execution. When evidence or preferences change, METIS creates a reassessment trail rather than rewriting the original decision.

METIS does not decide for the accountable owner. It does not turn preferences into facts, rankings into authority or group aggregation into consensus. Its job is to make the structure and consequence of a decision inspectable.

Decision Frames and Commitment Boundaries

Defines alternatives, criteria, stakeholders, constraints, evidence, time horizon and decision authority before analysis begins.

Preferences, Value and Utility

Represents incomplete, ordinal, cardinal, aspiration, reference and lexicographic preferences without forcing them into one additive score.

Choice, Ranking, Sorting and Outranking

Applies admitted scoring, compromise, outranking and non-additive methods while preserving method assumptions and incomparable results.

Robustness, Sensitivity and Deep Uncertainty

Tests whether a recommendation survives parameter variation, uncertain futures, regret criteria and adaptive pathway choices.

Value of Information, Computation and Waiting

Compares the benefit of learning, computing longer, waiting or staging a reversible commitment before choosing an action.

Group Choice, Bargaining and Negotiation

Supports committee choice, social-choice rules, bargaining and negotiation while exposing agenda, aggregation and strategic assumptions.

Recommendation, Contestation and Reassessment

Publishes explainable recommendations, records contestation and invalidates or supersedes them when evidence or commitments change.

Pareto Frontiers, Portfolios and Pathways

Compares nondominated choices, constrained portfolios and sequenced pathways without forcing distinct objectives into one score.

Contextual Bandits and Off-Policy Evidence

Evaluates policy alternatives from logged decisions while preserving propensity, support, overlap and estimator-risk conditions.

Decision-Method Admission and Definition Kits

Authors, validates and versions decision methods, criteria, preference models and reusable decision components.

Decision Explanation and Reproducible Audit

Explains how constraints, preferences, evidence and method behavior produced each decision result and preserves an independently replayable analysis snapshot.

Streaming Evidence and Decision Reassessment

Maintains decision frames against changing evidence while controlling invalidation, backpressure and recommendation currentness.
