Decisions

A decision is a confirmed proposal for one item. A person confirms it in the workspace. AI tools cannot.

The four outcomes

Outcome	Meaning
Keep	The work stays as it is. Record the reason.
Change	The work stays in a different form. Say where the necessary judgement goes.
Stop	The work stops as a bounded trial with an owner, a review date, and restart conditions.
Investigate	The evidence is not enough. Record what to find out and who can answer.

All four are normal results. Keeping work with a clear purpose is a result.

Your AI tool may already have proposed one. To create one yourself:

Open the project and select the Decisions view.
Select New proposal. You can also open an item on the map and select Propose… in its panel.

Fill in the form and select Save proposal:

Field	Enter
Item	The item the decision is about
Proposal	Investigate, Keep, Change, or Stop
Reasons for and against	The case for keeping and the case for the change, in one place
Evidence	The evidence records that support the reasons
Owner	The person accountable for the outcome
Scope	What exactly changes or stops
Unresolved dependencies	Work or systems that still depend on the item. Leave empty when none
Review date	When to check the result
Restart conditions	What would show that the work needs to come back

The Decisions view has three columns:

Needs detail: proposals that cannot be confirmed yet. Each shows how many fields are missing.
Ready to confirm: proposals that meet the requirements.
Decided: confirmed decisions.

A proposal can be confirmed when:

It has an Owner.
For Stop, it also has a Scope, a Review date, and Restart conditions, and the Unresolved dependencies field is empty.

Open a proposal in Needs detail, select Edit, complete the fields, and select Save revision.

Confirming saves the proposal exactly as it was when you confirmed it. The decision moves to Decided with the date.

Open a decision at or after its review date.

Select Record follow-up.
Enter the Observed outcome. Include any displaced work and any reason to restart.
Select Record.

You can add more than one follow-up to a decision. The decision then shows as followed up.

A revision needs a new confirmation. The earlier decision stays on record.
