Meeting-to-Decision Log

Every business has a policy nobody can explain. Somebody set it years ago for a good reason, the reason was never written down, and now the team either works around it forever or quietly reverses it and rediscovers the original problem the hard way. That is what happens when you record what was decided but not why. This template reads your meeting notes and pulls out the decisions — each one with the alternatives that were rejected and the reason, the assumptions it depends on, whether it can be undone, and what would justify revisiting it. It also catches the decisions nobody noticed making: the ones that took effect because a deadline passed and a default won.
