Average Decision Quality is related to the notions of power-law world, model uncertainty, and the prediction horizon. In a world in which the outcomes of actions

  • Vary widely in utility
  • Have unknown causal structure and/or side-effects
  • Are hard to predict

You don't know in advance which of your decisions will turn out to be important. You therefore want your average decision to be high quality. Decision quality judgment criteria are domain dependent but might generally include things like

  • Being well calibrated with regard to evidence
  • Having good problem-heuristic fit
  • Minimizes loss of option value
  • Is robust with regard to reference class uncertainty (i.e. is foxy)
  • Takes all stakeholder incentives into account
  • Cashes out in object level next actions
  • Is consistent with terminal goals
