Information Asymmetry Model

Information Asymmetry Model reference article.

Overview

A model explaining how unequal access to information creates strategic advantages through uncertainty, prediction, and concealed intent.

Key Points

  • Defines information as a competitive resource.
  • Explains prediction and misdirection cycles.
  • Covers asymmetry events that create opportunity surges.
  • Separates information theory from communication tactics.
  • Supports analysis of deception and ambiguity states.

Details

Information asymmetry arises when one team possesses more accurate or complete field knowledge than the other. This may involve hidden players, unrecognized flankers, or misunderstood lane pressure.

Teams with superior information can take controlled risks, while the disadvantaged team must make decisions under higher uncertainty. This imbalance leads to predictable decision state transitions such as defensive stabilization or reactive posture.

This model is foundational for understanding deception, concealment, and advantage generation.
