About this paper

Chao Li, Chunyi Zhao

The authors propose O-I-B-A-R, a framework for representing organizational decision boundaries and revising them after failures. It pairs conditions where a judgment holds with concrete failures, identifies decision-relevant dimensions, and turns unknown values into specific questions or human handoffs. A formal argument shows an IS-only representation can conflate cases requiring different responses; real-world performance remains untested.
