Come to think of it, any sort of binary information output by the
captain for processing by the first mate is likely to result in an
unrecoverable system crash and any further input is unlikely to take
place before significant repair and code overhaul.

He will end up with a choice between two boats. He may consider a bunch of
alternatives and have to weigh the merits of each. That is the analysis process.
The decision is made after the analysis (I hope).
