Calculate λj values based on threshold shortfalls: - λcert=0.8 (highest despite meeting threshold) - λcust=0.6 - λinv=0.2 (lowest despite being below threshold) 2. For each affordable action, calculate: - For Regulatory Certification: - ΔHcert=0.43, Δpcert,Accept=0.20 - Score = (0.43 + 0.8×0.20)/55,000 = 0.0107 bits/$1,000 3. Select a* = Regulatory Certification (highest score) - R = $200,000 - $55,000 = $145,000 - Update: Hcert = 1.40 - 0.43 = 0.97 bits 4. Update λj values based on new threshold shortfalls ### Second Iteration: 1. For Customer Pilot: - ΔHcust=0.35, Δpcust,Accept=0.25 - Score now highest due to updated λj values 2. Select a* = Customer Pilot - R = $145,000 - $80,000 = $65,000 - Update: Hcust = 1.33 - 0.35 = 0.98 bits ### Remaining Iterations: Following the same pattern for: - Carbon Credit Analysis ($25,000) - Pricing Structure ($15,000) - Partial Manufacturing ($22,000) The critical insight in the 5th iteration is that even though uncertainty increases, the action is selected because: - The λj values have increased significantly for stakeholders near but not meeting thresholds - The term ∑j λjΔ(fj·pj) now dominates ΔH in the score - This causes the algorithm to prioritize threshold satisfaction over uncertainty reduction This demonstrates how the algorithm dynamically balances uncertainty reduction and threshold satisfaction based on the evolving state of the system, showing the power of the primal-dual formulation in making these trade-offs automatically and mathematically. --- Decompose uncertainty per cost into: • B: uncertainty per state • D: state transitions per action • C: action cost Using bottleneck identification and LP formulation 2025-05-01 ## D matrix using [classifying industry analysis into individual vs institutaional cld](https://claude.ai/chat/e16e91bc-0fb7-4b13-a3e8-0587e71eb3d3) 1 ## C matrix ![[5.2📐Produce solution 2025-05-01-22.svg]] %%[[5.2📐Produce solution 2025-05-01-22|🖋 Edit in Excalidraw]]%% The attached diagram illustrates how entrepreneurial decision-making can be understood through the lens of network flow algorithms. It shows entrepreneurs navigating through different states (S₀→S₁→S₂→S₃) by systematically reducing three types of uncertainty: demand (market), supply (operational), and investor (capital). Starting with limited resources (9 units), entrepreneurs make strategic choices to allocate these resources to actions that reduce uncertainty, similar to how network flow algorithms identify and utilize residual capacity in paths. The visualization demonstrates the Markovian process where each state encapsulates current uncertainty levels, and entrepreneurs select actions that minimize the weighted sum of uncertainties while earning proportional rewards for uncertainty reduction. The comparison table maps key concepts between network flow and entrepreneurial uncertainty, showing how residual capacity corresponds to unreduced uncertainty, bottlenecks to resource constraints, and augmenting paths to action sequences, ultimately revealing that both algorithms operate on the principle of identifying and exploiting unused potential through sequential optimization.
