1. A computer implemented assisted decision-making system for constructing and evaluating a story of interest comprising:

  • a plurality of decision algorithms, each decision algorithm quantifying at least one category of uncertainty associated with the story of interest as at least one uncertainty parameter, the plurality of decision algorithms comprising an information extraction component that reduces evidence sources into a desired format; and

    an uncertainty management component that reconciles the uncertainty parameters from the plurality of decision algorithms as to produce a global uncertainty parameter for each of the plurality of uncertainty categories for the story of interest, and provides a unified uncertainty assessment by combining the global uncertainty parameters for each of the plurality of uncertainty categories for the story of interest.
