# Decision Sensitivity
Focus on uncertainties that change decisions, not just numbers.

## Available SOPs
**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** critical-path-identification, sensitivity-synthesis
## Execution Guidance
Identify which uncertainties would actually change the research direction decision. Compute Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI) for each uncertain parameter. Focus resources on reducing uncertainty with highest EVPI.
