The Analysis of Alternatives is a cornerstone of Military Acquisition policy, that of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It ensures that at least three feasible alternatives are analyzed prior to making costly investment decisions. The AoA establishes and benchmarks metrics for Cost, Schedule, Performance (CSP) and Risk (CSPR) depending on military "needs" derived from the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System process. It embodies the fair and competitive character of the United States business atmosphere, moving away from employing a single acquisition source to the exploration of multiple alternatives so agencies have a basis for funding the best possible projects in a rational, defensible manner considering risk and uncertainty.
Methodology
The AoA assesses critical technology elements (CTEs) associated with each proposed material solution, identified in the Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), including; technology maturity, integration risk, manufacturing feasibility, and, where necessary, technology maturation and demonstration needs. An AoA begins by establishing (or modifying) Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) metrics for each alternative. KPPs help compare the operational effectiveness, suitability, and life cycle costs of alternatives to satisfy the military need.
In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision-making process produces a final choice that may or may not prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker.
Overview
Decision-making can be regarded as a problem-solving activity terminated by a solution deemed to be satisfactory. It is therefore a process which can be more or less rational or irrational and can be based on explicit knowledge or tacit knowledge.
Human performance with regard to decisions has been the subject of active research from several perspectives:
Psychological: examining individual decisions in the context of a set of needs, preferences and values the individual has or seeks.
Cognitive: the decision-making process regarded as a continuous process integrated in the interaction with the environment.

It happens every single time Just when I thought all is well I'm either wrong or just not right Seems I'm never good enough Look at me I am trying hard as can be To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be Can't you see all I want for His will to be done Decision making is not my own A selfish one way thinking mind Can only make feelings of pain An open heart goes hand in hand With bringing problems to an end Look at me I am trying hard as can be To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be Can't you see all I want for His will to be done Decision making is not my own Look at me I am trying hard as can be To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be Can't you see all I want for His will to be done
