This knowledge is provided as principles (guidelines, prescription, rules, conditions, action statements, or advice about what to do in given situations).

Target Risk by Gerald
J.S. Wilde is the complete text of a book "Dealing with the danger of death,
disease and damage in everyday decisions." He proposes the theory
of risk homeostasis: "the degree of risk-taking behaviour and the magnitude
of loss due to accidents and lifestyle-dependent disease are maintained
over time, unless there is a change in the target level of risk."
Software for supporting judgment and decision making
-
Web-HIPRE is a web-version of the
HIPRE 3+ software for decision analytic problem structuring, multicriteria
evaluation and prioritization. "This software runs both MAVT and AHP models
and you can combine them as you like.The greatest benefit from the web
is that a group can work through the web and that you can create a homepage
for the problem and describe the alternatives and impacts by the
web."
