These distinctions are not intended to be sharp. Rather, they describe various stages of information disclosure during the decision-making process. At the ex-ante stage, little is known except the structure of the game, who is taking part, and possibly (but not necessarily) some aspect of the agents’ character. At the ex-post stage the game is basically over: all player have made their decision and these are now irrevocably out in the open. This does not mean that all uncertainty is removed as an agent may remain uncertain about what exactly the others were expecting of her. In between these two extreme stages lies a whole gradation of states of information disclosure that we loosely refer to as “the” ex-interim stage. Common to these stages is the fact that the agents have made a decision, although not necessarily an irrevocable one.
