5-level proficiency framework (Awareness to Expert) for decision-making competency, providing governmental authority as a U.S. federal accredited standard.
4-tier certification (Associate to Fellow) with 6 assessment domains systematizing expert-level decision-making competency for concrete behavioral criteria in checklists.
Separates decision quality from outcome quality, providing a probabilistic framework for judging under uncertainty. Directly informs the progression from intuitive decisions (L1-L2) to strategic judgment under uncertainty (L4-L5).
Nobel Prize-winning research empirically demonstrating the three major heuristics (representativeness, availability, anchoring) and systematic cognitive biases. Scientifically establishes the limits of intuitive judgment, providing core evidence for bias recognition and correction checklists across decision-making levels.
