Calculate recommendation conflict exposure
Price the expected, reserve-quantile and tail-CVaR regret of a current action when locally calibrated analytical recommendations conflict, using coherent action-loss scenarios and provenance-adjusted support that cannot be inflated by duplicate source lineage.
What it's for
Turns contradictory dashboards or AI answers into an executive financial question: how much loss is exposed, whether the current decision is economically defensible, and what reserve or arbitration is required.
What you give it
Every tool is a pure function: it computes from what you pass it and reads nothing on its own. Inputs split into evidence you supply from your connected systems, calibration your team owns, and numerical controls that affect precision but never the result's meaning.

How it works
Decision analysis — Turn uncertainty, cost and risk appetite into a defensible choice, with the reasoning left inspectable.
- 1 Freeze one decision's feasible actions, coherent scenario losses, current action and prospectively calibrated recommendations with explicit evidence lineage, reliability, support and weight.
- 2 Allocate one vote per unique evidence source, identify supported consensus without vote stuffing, and calculate each action's expected loss, scenario-oracle regret, suboptimal probability and regret CVaR.
- 3 Compare the current action with the minimum-expected-loss action, size the conflict-risk reserve, price supported-action loss dispersion and withhold support when consensus, reserve, tail or expected-loss gates fail.
Before you trust it
Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.
Assumptions & guardrails
- Actions, outcomes, utilities, evidence boundaries, uncertainty representation, and accountable ownership match the actual decision.
- Actions are mutually exclusive and feasible; loss columns preserve common shocks under one currency/horizon/perimeter; reliability is prospectively local; evidence IDs are real lineage; current action and reserve are current; scenario probabilities and loss definitions are governed.
- The result structures a governed choice; it does not replace accountable judgment or authorize action outside the declared decision boundary.
- Scenario-oracle regret and perfect-information value are diagnostic upper bounds. Consensus or minimum expected loss cannot override safety, legal, fiduciary, causal-evidence or implementation authority.
Minimum evidence
- actions: at least 2 rows/items
- recommendations: at least 2 rows/items
- scenarios: required and organization-defined
- current_action_id: required and organization-defined
- current_conflict_risk_reserve: required and organization-defined
How to validate it
Use chronological train/calibration/test windows, compare proper scores and decision value with a simple baseline, and recalibrate only from outcomes resolved after prediction time.
Calibrating it to your org
Same for everyone
The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.
Specific to you
- finance-reconciled decision-conflict case joining one canonical action set to coherent common-shock loss scenarios and the point-in-time recommendation registry without independently sorted losses or duplicated lineage votes
- action feasibility, loss/currency/horizon/perimeter, scenario dependence, recommendation eligibility/reliability/lineage, current commitment, reserve confidence, consensus threshold, tail probability, CVaR appetite and decision authority
Calibration workflow
- 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
- 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
- 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
- 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
- 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
- 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.
