Argumentative BI

 Argumentative BI opens perspective, bridges differences, discovers the truth and improves the effectiveness of multifaceted logical reasoning.

BI traditionally focuses on collecting, analyzing, and visualizing data to provide insights, trends, and patterns. It helps businesses make informed decisions based on evidence. Traditional BI tools don't typically present opposing viewpoints or explore potential risks associated with a particular course of action. 

While there isn't a single, established term called "Argumentative BI" within Business Intelligence (BI), the concept explores the potential intersection of data analysis Argumentative BI (Potential Interpretation) could be a hypothetical concept where BI tools go beyond just presenting data and delve into the realm of argumentation. Here are two possible interpretations:

Generating Counterarguments: Imagine a BI tool that analyzes data and not only presents insights but also generates potential counterarguments or alternative viewpoints based on retrieved information. However, implementing this effectively requires complex AI capabilities to understand Context: The tool would need to grasp the nuances of the business situation and the data being analyzed. This could be helpful for:

-Encouraging Critical Thinking: Forcing decision-makers to consider different perspectives and potential weaknesses in their plans.

-Exploring Risks: Identifying potential downside scenarios associated with specific business strategies.

- Present Balanced Arguments: It should generate counterarguments with appropriate weight and evidence, avoiding bias towards one perspective.

-Visualization of Opposing Viewpoints: Another interpretation could involve BI tools that visualize data in a way that highlights opposing viewpoints. This could involve:

Comparative Dashboards: Displaying side-by-side dashboards comparing the potential outcomes of different decisions.

-Scenario Modeling: Providing interactive visualizations that allow users to explore different assumptions and see how they impact the data.

An argument seeks to change a concept, perspective, or idea, and provoke actions. While a fully-fledged "Argumentative BI" doesn't exist yet, some technologies touch upon these concepts, besides technology, To develop argumentative BI, it could be helpful to start by distinguishing p-argument -- the process of arguing -- and m-argument -- the messages exchanged during such events.
