What is ROD?

ROD measures how effectively you use decision models.

ROD, Return on Decisions, looks at how you and your code use models like TypeSafe’s Jev: typed state and questions in, typed decisions with probabilities and confidence out.

Decisions, Not Conversations

A chat model writes an answer for you to read. A decision model makes a decision your code can act on, weighing every allowed answer at once.

A Chat Model
Should we approve this refund?

Someone reads it, then decides.

How It’s Built

What It Returns

Confidence, Put to Work

A decision model says how sure it is. ROD looks at whether your code listens.

Uses the ConfidenceActs on strong answers. Escalates weak ones.

Every decision it accepted held up.

Treats Every Answer as CertainActs on every answer, however unsure.

One accepted decision didn’t hold up.

Built for Every Decision Model

ROD measures the decision-model category, not one vendor’s model, so results stay comparable as new models arrive.
