  • Abstract
    Solving multi-goal scenario-based decision problems is difficult, especially when preferences are uncertain. Often, a mathematically sound solution is unsatisfactory due to the restricted nature of the model. This paper describes a way to visually represent these problems. The visual representation, using flower-shaped Orchid diagrams, focuses on attracting attention to the important facts without removing secondary information. It also describes a special technique to ´zoom´ in on certain results.
