The First-Year Evidence File
Maintain a light record of material decisions and outcomes. It gives the organization a memory of why it decided as it did.
For each material decision record:
-
Date and decision.
-
Business context.
-
Options considered.
-
Evidence and uncertainty.
-
Decision owner and contributors.
-
Expected consequence and guardrails.
-
Revisit trigger.
-
Later result and learning.
At 90, 180, and 365 days, review a sample. The quality of the decision system is visible in these records.
