The objective of decision characterization is to further classify conversations into specific characteristics based on a decision's purpose. For example, in the image below, a decision around mobile strategy (a software-related decision) is characterized into 6 different attributes, indicating the general direction of the conversations around that decision. So, you know if you set out to decide on a topic that was intended to impact a higher-level goal, that your team's contribution and discussion are in that intended direction or not!
The characterization happens automatically through natural language processing.
