ETHELO
Overlooked Complexity
Decisions made using the ‘For’ and ‘Against’ approach oversimplify complex problems, creating one-sided results that divide people into winners and losers.
Power and Influence
Traditional decision-making is overly centralized, leading to imbalances of influence that favour people with more political and social power.
Hidden Knowledge
Superficial engagement fails to capture the insight and intelligence of stakeholders, who often have critical information necessary to solve the problem.
Dynamic Engagement
Ethelo gives participants a meaningful role in the decision-making process, enabling them to evaluate options, discuss and add ideas, weigh priorities, and do trade-offs.
Fairness and Buy-In
Ethelo balances the interests of decision-makers and stakeholders, analyzing all possibilities to objectively identify fair outcomes that everyone can support.
Complexity-taming Algorithms
The Ethelo algorithm is able to break down complex decisions into a series of simpler decisions that can be tackled collectively, harnessing the wisdom of the crowd.
