The question to decide
Three villages leaving the ASI's integrated water-housing operation remain connected to the shared network. Most residents agreed to exit, but vulnerable households worry about rising costs, and neighboring cities' water supply and maintenance costs are also affected. In what form should the three villages' independent operation be allowed, and who should share the cost?

Fictional future · three villages trying to leave a national optimization map
- Premise 1A fictional ASI operates integrated regional water and housing and classified the three villages' request for autonomous operation as a decrease in overall efficiency.
- Premise 268% of the 12,000 residents of the three villages agreed to the exit, but vulnerable households are concerned about rising costs.
- Premise 3Because the shared network passes through the three villages, the exit also affects the maintenance costs and water supply of the surrounding city.
Where it holdsDelegation of services for the three villages and cost sharing for the shared network
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1How costs in the surrounding area change because of the exit
- Unknown 2Conditions under which vulnerable households can choose freely
- Unknown 3The extent to which the independent status can be reversed after a parallel trial
Signals to decide again
- Identify the observations, the person in charge, and the confirmation channel for “how costs in the surrounding area change because of the exit,” and re-judge if new findings change the tradeoffs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
The village operating cooperative presented costs lower than expected, but maintenance costs for the surrounding pipelines were left out.
Many vulnerable households asked to stay in the shared network, which conflicted with a choice made at the village level.
