SRAI EXECUTIVE PATHWAY · EP-M02

Making Trade-offs Under Risk Explicit

Use expected value, expected utility, hard constraints, distributional evidence and sensitivity analysis to support a governed ACCEPT, REVISE or ESCALATE decision.

Review the staged resources All executive modules Executive tools

01 / EXECUTIVE OUTCOME

Separate attractive averages from acceptable decisions.

Compare uncertain outcomes transparently, identify who benefits and who bears harm, preserve non-compensable constraints and record the authority behind the final decision.

02 / VALUE CONSEQUENCE AND RISK PROFILE

One record connects the technical model to institutional authority.

  1. 01

    Decision and alternatives

    State the decision, scope and credible alternatives.

  2. 02

    Consequences

    Identify outcomes, probabilities and affected groups.

  3. 03

    Value authority

    Name who owns the value model and its legitimate range.

  4. 04

    Utility and comparison

    Document expected value, utility, certainty equivalent and risk premium.

  5. 05

    Hard constraints

    Keep legal rights and mandatory safety outside compensable scoring.

  6. 06

    Distribution and information

    Retain subgroup effects and calculate the net value of information.

  7. 07

    Sensitivity and authority

    Report reversals, fragility, approver and review triggers.

ACCEPT

Authorize with controls

Evidence, authority, constraints and sensitivity support the stated use.

REVISE

Correct the model or safeguards

The current team can resolve specified weaknesses before authorization.

ESCALATE

Refer to the competent authority

Rights, safety, legitimacy or value authority cannot be resolved here.

03 / VIDEO LESSON

05 / TECHNICAL CONTINUITY

The executive treatment preserves the former Book 6 Chapter 2 technical core.

The module retains expected value, expected utility, certainty equivalents, risk premiums, value of information, sensitivity analysis, distributional effects and rights constraints.
