Decision analysis cycle

The decision analysis (DA) cycle is the top-level procedure for carrying out a decision analysis. The traditional cycle consists of four phases:

  • basis development
  • deterministic sensitivity analysis
  • probabilistic analysis
  • basis appraisal.

The diagram below depicts the decision analysis cycle:[1]

A revised form of the cycle consists of an attention-focusing method followed by a decision method, each of which is composed of three stages:

  • formulation
  • evaluation
  • appraisal.
