A decision support system is described in which data structures (elementary models) consisting of a hierarchical arrangement of criteria and containing textual meta-data and numerical values, may be reduced to form a sub-set of criteria in which the sub-set of criteria (the aggregate model) represents a meaningful sample of the information content of the descendant criteria, tailored to the needs of a specific client. A process is described wherein one expert in the art of tailoring of a large hierarchical structure customizes said elementary model to create the aggregate model. In addition, the expert may provide a set of charts and explanatory text - called decision objects, that may be clustered into visual decision dictionaries (VDD's). Said VDD's may further be clustered into decision procedures. Said decision procedures may then be used to guide a client through systematic and thorough analysis on the tailored model data in order to reach a well-informed and often negotiated decision. Decision procedures can be stored systematically in knowledge bases, said knowledge having accrued from a research process on decision making using said aggregate models by Clients and other sources. As well, a system and method is described to protect the licensing of said tailored models. The application of the system and method using tailored models in automated decision making, automated advisory services and control processes is further assisted by utilizing the concept of hidden nodes, thereby providing summary information to human or automated controllers, and expanding said information base on an as needed basis, dependent on constraint information and restrictions for its disclosure. In addition, such methods require 'on-the'-fly' scenario and 'what-if' actions using decision objects, decision procedures and visual dictionaries as symbolic visual representations of the decision process. This current invention discloses system and method for tailoring models that then provides means for automated advisory services to determine a systematic customized process, for informed and conditional decision making. As well, said process provides the means to automate decision making procedures, allowing for use in decision and control environments, wherein it provides conditional elements to any course taken by human operators.
