Assumptions:

Strategic decisions can be risky in that we are less sure of the outcomes. Typically, if things go well you get a big return on the investment.

Mid level decisions provide a modest return and are less risky $($things will occur as planned$).$

Operational decisions are easier to quantify but do not have as big a return on the investment. Information we need to be able to decide:

Option $1$: Cost $$1,000,000.$ Earn $$3,000,000$ if Likelihood $(30\%)$ of market responding positively, if not earn $$500,000.$

Option $2$: Cost $$500,000.$ Savings $$1,000,000$ if Likelihood $(50\%)$ of making a difference, if not $$100,00$

Option: Cost $$2,000,000.$ Earn $$1,500,000$ if Likelihood $(80\%)$ of improving operations, if not earn $$900,000.$
