Decision record
The chosen option retains the alternatives and rationale considered.
The Decision Ledger
The confirmed history of why a project took its current form.
INSIDE THE DECISION LEDGER
Purpose, systems, and connections.
The Decision Ledger preserves the question, alternatives, choice, reasoning, approvers, date and source evidence behind an important decision. Superseded decisions remain traceable so later work can understand what changed.
Approval evidence
Approvers, time and supporting sources remain attached to the decision.
Affected work
Assets, budgets, dependencies and earlier decisions connect to the change.
How it connects
Discussion, review and approval are distinct states; casual praise does not automatically approve a version.
