Record what each piece of consultation input changed in the decision
Definition
Mechanism
When input is gathered before a Decision, the decision record answers each input: what it changed in the decision, its reasoning or the options considered, or that it changed nothing and why.
Invariants
- Each gathered input is answered in the decision record.
- An answer states what the input changed, or why it changed nothing.
