Uncertainty – Many of the facts may be unknown.
Complexity – There can be many, interrelated factors to consider.
High-risk consequences – The impact of the decision may be significant.
Alternatives – There may be various alternatives, each with its own set of uncertainties and consequences.
Interpersonal issues – You need to predict how different people will react.
