Despite the prevalence of decision support tools, existing solutions often fall short in adequately incorporating multiple stakeholders' perspectives and addressing uncertainties. We developed a novel multi-agent decision support tool to address this gap. The SEAD (Stakeholder interaction, Elicitation, Analysis, Dialogue) method uses a Multiagent Influence Diagram (MAID) framework to enable the quantification of different stakeholder perspectives and values while accommodating various scenarios, such as climate change.
