Decision Tree
Decision Tree Foundation.
My favorite so far.
While nicely sounding, it probably does not convey the relevant information to an "outsider". Particularly, this is something a straw Vulcan would do, make a perfectly logical decision based on lousy priors. It emphasizes process over goals, and so is susceptible to lost purposes.
I wonder if this suggestion can be modified to clarify the ultimate goal: to make the best decision possible, including digging up the best possible priors and testing the conclusions along the way. Unfortunately, my metaphor chest came up cringe-worthy: Decision Tree... Garden?, Cultivating Decision Tree?.
Decision Tree: Roots of Knowledge.
Decision Tree: Applied Wisdom.
Decision Tree: Our mascot is a thinly veiled rip-off of an Ent! Sweet!
If I have understood you correctly, you think that rationality do not corresponds well to having a decision trees, but rather to the process of cultivation them?
I guess you could try to integrate that, but then you are running the risk of making it an in-group name, rather than actually convening some sketchy picture of what the institute is about.
