Extending the support into the future
Must manage multiple projected futures ---
Novel tools needed to help the decision maker:
1. Assess the likelihood of a branch being taken (if not controlable)
2. Compute probabilities into the future, up to desired/final endpoints
3. Compute results at each node, by backtracking from the endpoints
and considering the probabilities
4. Compare the associated costs and benefits for the alternatives
5. Recalculate to get new, better values, less uncertainty
- Trim or summarize unlikely branches to reduce the complexity
- Prune to the current state and delete all but one actual path
