Reasonbridge
Explain a decision in the terms of each value set it affects, without pretending they share one justification
Definition
Mechanism
A Decision that affects parties with different values is explained once for each value set, giving the reasons that hold within it in its own terms. Where a value set finds no reason to support the decision, the explanation says so.
Invariants
- Each affected value set receives reasons stated in its own terms.
- Where a value set has no supporting reason, the explanation says so.
Risks
Failure modes
