Analytic

The authors treat a one-off decision as "a recurrent decision that happens only once": its noise cannot be measured, but counterfactually it is there, since another equally competent decider, or the same one on a different day, would have chosen differently. Decision-market proposals are singular decisions of this kind: one raise, one hire, one treasury move. What a market adds is not a better single judgment but many judgments of the one case, the only remedy for noise available when the case will never recur. The application is Rio's.
