peer agreement (net): +1foundation of knowledge Explanation: I think a straight translation would work fine here. For all decisions it is important to have strong foundations of data and knowledge. Instead of "strong" you could write "firm" or even "reliable." |

(Reliable data and) robust evidence ... Explanation: ... are key to all decision-making processes. All decisions must be based on/underpinned by reliable data and robust evidence. Certainly room for improvement, but you get the general idea. Whether you start with "decisions" or put it at the end really depends on what the next sentence says. |
