A concise, structured record you can use when you make a decision. Keep it short — capture the context, the options you considered, the evidence you used, the decision, and how you will measure outcomes.

A short, specific name (e.g., 'Swap payment processor for online checkout').
When the decision was made.
Choose the type that best fits the decision's scope and impact.
Person or role responsible for the decision and its outcomes.
Why this decision was needed right now.
Short list of alternatives and reasons they were rejected or preferred.
Key data, tests, user feedback, or expert input that supported the decision.
Primary things that could go wrong and how you'll reduce them.
State the decision clearly so anyone reading later understands the outcome.
Who will carry out the next steps.
How you'll measure success and when you'll review outcomes.
Anything the next team should know when reviewing this decision later.
