What Would You Say You Do Here

There is a diverse literature on the use of analysis to advise decision-makers that many at CNA have not formally studied. The purpose of this occasional paper is to introduce this literature (or, more precisely, these literatures) and highlight a few ideas with special relevance to work at CNA. The review is neither comprehensive nor definitive. It is a primer designed to introduce analysts to a few important ideas and invite them to explore further. The primer includes extensive citations.
