From a vague mandate to a decision portfolio Review questions From a vague mandate to a decision portfolio The From a vague mandate to a decision portfolio module connects diagnosis, alternatives and recommendation. It defines the decision and context, separates evidence from assumptions, and applies exclusions before weighting. A committee, policy or score alone is insufficient: ownership, operational evidence and a review trigger are required. When a material assumption changes, rebalance, contain or retire in proportion to severity and reversibility.
