Decision Log

A decision log is a running record of significant decisions, who made them, and the reasoning behind each one.

Example

An entry records that a discount was approved for a specific client, who approved it, and the reasoning, so anyone reviewing the account later has the full context.

Why it matters

A written record prevents the same decision from being silently reversed or re-litigated by someone who never knew the original reasoning.

Limits and cautions

Logging every minor decision creates more overhead than value; the practice earns its keep on decisions with real, lasting consequence.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's notes and activity history can hold a decision's reasoning attached directly to the record it affects.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
