Track Four Facts About Every Decision

The decision-making scorecard

Companion to The Code Takes Care of Itself · Updated 2026-09-29

Record four facts about every decision that reached you or your leadership team this month:

  1. What the decision was.
  2. How long it waited before a named owner closed it.
  3. Whether that owner had a stated trigger or decided under deadline pressure.
  4. Whether it raised or lowered next quarter’s Integration Debt.

Cap the scorecard at eight rows a month. Nobody reads a longer one.
