The working A prototype: use its controls to test the build question.
Find recurring decisions for which people have information but no usable decision system.
RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.
This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.
Work through the controls with a situation of your own rather than the sample values. The tool responds to what you put in, so the useful output comes from real input, and everything is processed in your browser as you go. Any sample content you find already loaded is there to show the shape of a filled-in state, and you can clear it and start again at any point.
The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.

Unserved Decision Discovery Framework
Find places where people already have plenty of information but still lack the thing that helps them decide.
Describe a recurring situation, name what people still cannot decide, and map the information substitutes they already use. The tool then surfaces whether the gap is worth deeper investigation.
01 / SITUATION
Where does the decision happen?
02 / MISSING DECISION
What can people still not decide?
Information is not the same as a decision tool.
How structurally painful is the missing decision?
DECISION GAP71promising gap
The empty space
People already have 3 information substitutes, but the unresolved job is still: What has to be true before we should launch this workflow?
One place that assembles the evidence needed for this decision. Decision focus: What has to be true before we should launch this workflow?
A comparison or scenario tool that makes tradeoffs explicit. Decision focus: What has to be true before we should launch this workflow?
A decision protocol that shows assumptions, uncertainty, and escalation points. Decision focus: What has to be true before we should launch this workflow?
A reusable workflow that remembers prior decisions and what happened afterward. Decision focus: What has to be true before we should launch this workflow?
PORTABLE RECORD003v1
Keep the assumptions visible.
The export records the inputs, formula version, score, hypotheses, limitations, and the fact that external evidence retrieval belongs to Build 004.
This is discovery, not validation. A high gap score means the situation has characteristics worth investigating. It does not prove people want a product, will pay, or that the proposed solution is correct. The next step is evidence from the people living the decision.
