Write down a decision so the next person doesn't have to redo it

We decided something. Turn it into a note that means nobody has to reopen it in four months.

The decision: [WHAT WE DECIDED]
Who was involved: [NAMES OR ROLES]
What we considered and rejected: [THE OTHER OPTIONS — even the ones dismissed quickly]
What we were worried about: [THE HESITATIONS, INCLUDING ONES THAT WEREN'T RESOLVED]

Write it as:

1. THE DECISION, in one sentence, in the active voice. Who decided to do what.

2. WHY, in three bullets maximum. Reasons, not justifications — the actual things that moved us, including the unglamorous ones like "we already had a licence".

3. WHAT WE REJECTED AND WHY. One line each. This is the most valuable section and the one always left out, because it's the part that stops someone re-proposing the same rejected option next quarter.

4. WHAT WOULD MAKE US CHANGE OUR MINDS. The specific condition or number. "If X happens, revisit this." Without it, a decision quietly becomes permanent for no reason.

5. WHAT WE DIDN'T RESOLVE. Say it plainly. Every real decision leaves something unsettled, and pretending otherwise means the next person hits it with no warning.

6. WHO OWNS IT NOW, and when it should next be looked at.

Under 250 words. Write it for someone who wasn't in the room and doesn't have the context — that person is usually us, later.

One more thing: use anything you already know about me from our past chats and anything you're connected to. If you can find it yourself, don't make me look it up.
