>>>Besides, a medical decision is, IIRC, related to 1) diagnosis, 2) determining the course of action. A diagnosis is a conclusion; the latter is exactly what I was aiming at: a decision is a verdict or a chosen action ("I've decided to discuss this further"). So... the guy decided that it "now reduces risk", whereas it didn't, before he decided it?

Looking things up in English falls down IMO (if you allow the weak pun on the short "i" decidere)...
If you compare concludere with decidere (long "i") there might be some overlap, but the distinct sets are more in line of Holmes concluding something based on exhaustive analysis and Alexander deciding on battle strategies with some facts but elements of the battle still to enfold..
