In the previous explainer, we explored how differences in information may influence a decisionmaker’s choice of action. The final step in framing a VALUABLES impact assessment is to identify and compare the consequences of these actions for people or the environment. This step is represented in row three of the framework (Figure 1), which compares outcomes when improved information is either available to the decisionmaker or when it is not. Researchers can use this comparison to make a compelling empirical case for why their work brings value to the world.
