decisioning
Choosing among options
Decisioning is business jargon for the process of making decisions, especially automated or systematic ones.
The term appears most often in finance and technology contexts: credit decisioning, real-time decisioning engines.
It converts the noun decision into a gerund, suggesting an ongoing process rather than a single choice.
The word strikes many as unnecessary corporate-speak, since deciding already exists.
