One tool that I think would be quite useful is having some kind of website where you gather:
Situations: descriptions of decisions that people are facing, and their options
Outcomes: the option that they took, and how they felt about it after the fact
Then you could get a description of a decision that someone new is facing and automatically assemble a reference class for them of people with the most similar decisions and how they turned out. Could work without any ML, but language modelling to cluster similar situations would help.
Kind of similar information to a review site, but hopefully can aggregate by situation instead of by product used, and cover decisions that are not in the category of “pick a product to buy”
I think it’s difficult to encourage people to write a huge amount of data on a website like that. Maybe you could scrape forums or something to get information.
I imagine that some specific sorts of decisions will be dramatically more tractable to work on than others.

Good idea.
