Consider: Natural Planning Model
I think natural planning models are a very useful tool to have for any civilization, but it is important to understand that they are not a panacea. They do not provide solutions for every problem or question with apparent objective merit.
I feel it is best to think of natural planning models as working like a flow chart. In order to work through the process one would have to set certain premises, and for each point you reach in your deliberation if you don't know what the next step should be then you simply go back into your algorithm.
So, for example, you could have a natural planning algorithm that determines what is the best way to distribute food and medicine throughout the population in the event of a crisis. The first step would be to determine how much food and medicine you have on hand at your disposal. After that you would need to find out how many people there are in your civilization.
Let us say these numbers are unknown because you have not had a census in the past year. So now you would need to look at your population records and come up with an estimated number of people.
The next step would be to determine how much food and medicine each individual requires in order to survive. You will need an objective way of measuring the amount of either that an average person needs.
You would have to balance how much food and medicine you could spare with the amount of people who need it. You could even decide that some people are more important than others, so your algorithm might weigh saving one child's life over two adults.
