Decision Engine
The decision engine converts qualified evidence and explicit uncertainty into proposed action.
Observation→Conflict→Decision→Human Validation→Knowledge
Decisions are objects
A decision records its reason, evidence, confidence, priority, related objects, proposed action and requirement for human validation. It is not hidden inside generated prose.
Conflict is useful information
Conflicting dates, similar claims with different sources, or disagreement between official and general sources should not be silently flattened. Conflict objects preserve ambiguity and initiate an appropriate resolution path.
Qualified observations
Evidence with source, relevance and confidence.
Proposed action
A traceable recommendation that remains subject to policy.
