Aristotle | ION Management Science Lab
AI-augmented Managerial Decision-making
under Uncertainty
Aristotle helps learners and managers think like a scientist: frame a problem, build rival theories of value, test them with experiments and decide based on evidence.

Start from the decision
How it works
AI-augmented workflow of a scientist
01
Frame the problem
Turn a messy situation into a problem statement worth solving: what success looks like, by when, and under which constraints.
- Guided problem framing
- Success criteria and constraints made explicit
- Your own documents as context
02
Build rival theories
Aristotle generates competing theories of value. Each is a causal map — attributes, links and a conviction — that you can question, compare, combine or debate.
- Several theories, not one answer
- Causal maps with probability estimates
- Compare, combine and debate
03
Test before you commit
Design a survey, interview or trial, run a synthetic simulation with AI participants, and decide whether the finding should change your theory.
- Survey, interview and trial designs
- Synthetic simulation before the field
- Findings update your theory — or don't
