Ethelo Engine Settings
The Ethelo Engine lies at the core of the decision-making process, utilizing its intricate prioritization algorithm to sift through various inputs and present a recommended decision outcome. However, the key to fine-tuning this engine lies in understanding and configuring its settings.
Exploring Engine Settings
The Engine Settings are the levers and dials that allow you to orchestrate how the Ethelo Engine conducts its analysis. These settings govern the algorithm's behavior and influence the final decision recommendation.
Input Data for Engine Analysis
Before diving into the settings, let's understand the rich data that fuels the Ethelo Engine's analysis. The engine can evaluate a multitude of factors (if initially configured by decision admins), including:
- Options and Option Attributes: These are the choices on the table, each with its unique attributes.
- Option Votes: Provided by participants, these votes reflect individual preferences.
- Option Topics and Option Groups: Grouping options by common themes or criteria.
- Topic and Criteria Weights: Participants assign weights to topics and criteria, indicating their relative importance.
- Participant Influence: The engine allows for varying levels of participant influence, recognizing that not all stakeholders carry equal weight in the decision.
- Scenario Attributes and Constraints: The scenario's unique characteristics and any constraints placed upon it.
Together, this comprehensive dataset is fed into the Ethelo Engine, and with the guidance of Engine Settings, it produces the final results.
Outcome Options
The Ethelo Engine is versatile, capable of producing two types of outcomes based on your requirements:
- Ranked List of All Options (All Options Mode): In this mode, the engine provides a comprehensive ranking of all available options, allowing for a thorough evaluation of each choice's merits.
- Ranked List of the Top Scenarios (Scenario Mode): Alternatively, you can opt for a more focused approach, where the engine presents a ranking of the most promising scenarios, guided by the Ethelo theory of scenario analysis and fair decision outcomes, and streamlining the decision-making process.
Configuring Your Engine Settings
To tailor the Ethelo Engine to your specific needs, navigate to the Engine Settings section, which can be accessed via:
