Human Decision
Trace Data

Human-authored reasoning texts capturing real decision-making processes — hesitation, re-evaluation, and judgment shifts in natural internal-dialogue style.

What This Is
(And What It Is Not)

This is not Chain-of-Thought data. This is not data to make LLMs "smarter" at reasoning.

This is Human Decision Trace — preserved records of how humans actually make decisions in the real world, including:

Hesitation and uncertainty

Re-evaluation when new factors emerge

Value trade-offs and priority shifts

Circular reasoning and backtracking

The moment when the decision boundary shifts

Most reasoning datasets are linear: A → B → C.
Human decisions are not. They loop, hesitate, and reverse.

This type of data is in extremely high demand internationally — often called Human Reasoning Trace or Decision Boundary Data — yet supply is critically limited.

Sample Text

Below is an actual sample from our dataset — a real human decision-making process preserved in natural internal-dialogue style.

Sample — Hotel Selection Decision (Japanese)

どうせ出張で寝るだけだから、多少狭くてもいいや。 ん?シングルが喫煙タイプしか空いてないのか。匂いが気になるな…。 でも、プラズマクラスターのエアコン完備って書いてるし、 千円安いなら多少は我慢してもいいかもしれない。 あれ?送迎がないのか。 駅からは歩けない距離だし、タクシーを使うことになりそうだな。 そうすると結局、千円以上はかかりそうだ。 それなら、最初に安いと思った意味がなくなる。 移動の手間も増えるし、出張で疲れていることを考えると、 その選択はあまり合理的ではない気がしてきた。 だったら、駅ナカのカプセルホテルでいいや。 寝るだけなら十分だし、移動も楽だ。 今回は快適さよりも、移動のシンプルさを優先する判断にした。

Translation summary: A business traveler weighing hotel options — initially attracted by a cheaper smoking room, then reconsidering when realizing the lack of shuttle service would cost more in taxi fare than the savings. The decision criteria shifts from "price" to "simplicity of movement," ultimately choosing a capsule hotel at the station.

Why This Sample Matters

Decision Wavering

The reasoning loops back — "maybe I can tolerate it" → "wait, that changes things" → reversal

Criteria Shift

The evaluation basis changes mid-decision: price → total cost → convenience

Decision Boundary

The exact moment when "cheap hotel" loses to "capsule hotel" is captured

Natural Uncertainty

Japanese expressions like "〜かもしれない" (maybe) and "気がしてきた" (starting to feel) preserve genuine uncertainty

Core Value

Capturing the Moment When Human Judgment Shifts.

Use Cases

Human Decision Trace data enables AI systems to understand — and support — real human decision-making.

Agent-Based AI

Training agents to recognize when users are hesitating, re-evaluating, or need different information

Decision Support

Building systems that understand human decision patterns and can provide timely, relevant support

Explainable AI

Creating AI explanations that match how humans actually think — with uncertainty and trade-offs, not just linear logic

Why Japanese?

Japanese internal monologue style captures uncertainty more faithfully than English. Features like subject omission, sentence-final emotional markers, and expressions of tentativeness ("〜かもしれない", "気がする") create more natural decision traces.

International researchers increasingly recognize that Japanese internal monologue style reasoning captures uncertainty more faithfully — making this data valuable for global AI development, not despite being Japanese, but because of it.
