Keep the reasons behind a shared decision readable by everyone it binds
Definition
Mechanism
Each shared Decision is recorded with its reasons, the alternatives rejected and why, and who decided, in a place everyone the decision binds can read. People who were not in the room can then follow, question or revisit it.
Invariants
- Each shared decision records its reasons, the rejected alternatives and who decided.
- The record is readable by everyone the decision binds.
Risks
