Pandora's Box Problem

The Pandora's Box Problem is a stochastic optimization framework in the field of optimal stopping where a decision-maker sequentially opens costly boxes containing random rewards, incurring inspection costs, and must choose whether to continue exploring or stop with the best value observed, thereby balancing exploration costs against the value of revealed information.
