Overall the content of the page is good. I would suggest the following:
 
 
 
1. At the start of the page, add some content on Right decisions, Wrong decisions and Bad decisions. When you use good decision making techniques, there is always a risk that further information will become available that will turn what you thought was a Right decision into a Wrong decision, but if you don't analyse the problem and ignore the information that could have been brought to bear, you have made a Bad decision. The information on this page is to help you avoid making Bad decisions.
 
 
 
2. There is some good information on Decision Making in Wikipedia - not just on Decision Making Software. I would suggest adding a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_making
 
 
 
3. There is also some good information on Decision Making on the Mind Tools website, http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_00.htm
 
 
 
4. Would it also be worth mentioning the ethics of decision making? My particular favorite reference is to William Kingdon Clifford's "The Ethics of Belief", which is summarized nicely in:
 
DeMarco, T and Lister, T; "Waltzing with Bears: Managing Risks on Software Projects", ISBN 0-932633-60-9, Dorset House, 2003
 
 
 
The original reference to Clifford's work is: 
 
Clifford, W; "The Ethics of Belief, Part 1 - The Duty of Inquiry", Contemporary Review, January 1877
 
 
 
5. The section above the first diagram, on Fact Based Judgment, says "This will be discussed in more detail in section 6.6.4" - where is section 6.6.4? I would suggest adding some material here, along the lines of: " Fact Based Judgment. This is the most common situation. The diagram below shows the process that is followed to make fact-based judgments. Much good information is available in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook (section 5.3 in Version 3.2) on the Decision Management Process, which uses Fact Based Judgment."   
 
 
 
(comments by Andy Pickard)
 
 
 
Alice (review): This article is quite mature and perhaps should be an example for how the articles need to be written.  No changes needed.
