Decision support
Karar desteği
D6
Decision support supplies information or recommendations intended to inform a human decision.
Review status: 2027-02-24
Technical explanation
It can provide information that helps a deployer interpret output and use a system appropriately in its intended context.
Conceptual boundaries
Decision support can inform a human decision, but information or recommendations do not by themselves make that decision correct.
Provider-neutral example
A system can rank applications against published criteria while a qualified reviewer checks the supporting record and makes the admission decision.
Limitations
Information or recommendations need interpretation in their intended context and do not by themselves make a human decision correct.
