On In the most natural terms, a decision making system is evaluated based on it's ability to direct the best effective actions that will produce maximum ROI (Return On Investment) for the person who evaluate the system. when When we speak on "Return" we may talk on optimization of resource usage and achieve high yields of benefits in goods , but also on strengthening the social-capital of the group. When we calculate investment, the efforts put into the decision system is also calculated. If the system demands high investment of resources to achieve effective decisions, it's over -all evaluation will may decrees.
When a system of decision making is put in to effect, it is also has to take into account the values of the participants in the discussion or the values of the people who will be affected by the decisions. The resulting decisions should be effective in terms of the ROI, but also in producing actions that enhance the excepted values of the group.
Therefore the actual evaluation can change from person to person, according to their values. Some will have more of a need to a clear and simple decision making process, that needs minimum intervention from the participants. Usually conservatives and action driven personalities, will value the more simple system of decision making with less participation. Others may want a more complex and subtle and participatory decision making, due to their need to explore and experience before omitting to actions. These will be usually liberals and especially people with ADD. A more complex account of the benefits and investment are describe in "[[Participation function|participation function]]"".
