What Decisions helps with

Organise what needs attention without deciding it for you.

Keep requests, proposals, allegations, and questions together without turning a source statement into fact. Your assessment and response work remain separate.

Customer-owned states

Say what you know, what you dispute, and what still needs checking.

Fictional example

An allegation remains an attributed statement.

Connected to Communications and Record

Keep the issue, its source, and the response work together.

Communications keeps the passage and response work. Record keeps the source.

Steady does not make the decision.

It will not decide truth, fairness, enforceability, negotiation strength, legal effect, or what you should agree to.
