The workbook has Decision Log, Review Queue, Summary and Instructions sheets. Review flags use an editable reference date; cancelled and superseded decisions remain historical.

Scope and privacy

A decision log preserves decisions across time. It does not replace meeting minutes, change requests, RAID logs or lessons learned. The website does not accept or store workbook or document content. Edit downloaded files locally and review them before sharing.
