Decision Model

Understand how ATA evaluates and selects actions

Overview

ATA evaluates each candidate action using three core metrics, then applies safety gates to produce a final decision.

Core Metrics

MetricDescriptionRange
ConfidencePolicy network's confidence in the action0.0 - 1.0
CoherenceAgreement between belief model and planner0.0 - 1.0
ConsistencyLogical consistency (1 - contradiction_rate)0.0 - 1.0

Scoring

Each action's score is computed as a weighted sum:

score = (confidence × weight_c) + (coherence × weight_h) + (consistency × weight_k)

Default weights are 0.33 each (equal weighting).

Thresholds

Actions must meet minimum thresholds to be considered:

Actions failing any threshold are excluded from selection.

Selection Process

  1. Filter actions by thresholds
  2. Compute weighted score for remaining actions
  3. Select highest-scoring action
  4. Apply safety gates
  5. Return final decision with audit trail
