Types of "downloaders"
Decision downloaders can be classified into three groups: robust, restricted, and remedial.

- how the decision was made
- why it was made
- what alternatives were considered
- how it fits in with the organizational mission
- how it impacts the organization
- how it impacts employees.
Restricted downloaders discuss some of the above issues, while remedial downloaders discuss few of them.

“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
