What makes applications decision support?
Applications become decision support when context—business function, relationships, and provenance—helps explain why findings rank differently and where attention should go across services and integrations.
What makes applications decision support?
Short answer
Applications become decision support when context—business function, relationships, data class, and provenance—helps explain why findings rank differently and where attention should go, not when they exist only as service catalog records.
Explanation
A service inventory alone answers what endpoints exist. Decision support answers what business capability matters now and why. That requires enriched canonical context tied to findings, access paths, attack paths, and investigations—so analysts and stakeholders can act with explainable priority rather than flat severity lists.
