Concept describing cognitive and informational limits in decision processes.
Bounded rationality describes cognitive and informational limits on human decision-making that prevent optimal choices. It explains how satisficing, heuristics, and simplified models shape decisions in organizations and product design. The concept helps to create realistic decision frameworks and practical prioritization rules.
Time from problem identification to final decision.
How many iteration cycles were required to validate assumptions.
Share of decisions meeting defined satisficing thresholds.
Team uses satisficing rules to decide with limited user data.
Formal decision paths simplified to reduce cognitive overload.
Simplified assumptions enabled iterative decisions instead of perfect planning.
Raise awareness of cognitive limits in the team.
Define satisficing criteria and simple heuristics.
Design decision processes to allow short validation loops.
Document outcomes and institutionalize learning loops.
