Frame the operating decision
Who owns the outcome and workflow rules? Who owns uptime, behavior, configuration, and maintenance? Use the combined view to name the business outcome, source of truth, and owner who will decide whether to proceed.
Set the control boundary
Who approves source use, freshness, access, and retention? Who approves, edits, rejects, or escalates outputs? State the risk to avoid, review or escalation route, and record needed to keep the workflow controlled.
Commit to the first move
Who reviews policy, privacy, risk, or regulatory concerns? Who can approve scope, rules, access, and rollout changes? Record the smallest safe scope, baseline, owner, evidence, decision date, and next action.
Decision summary
Who can approve scope, rules, access, and rollout changes? Where do exceptions go and how quickly? Summarize the proposed move, operating benefit, and the evidence that supports it.
Evidence and control
How often does ownership review performance and risk? State the source, review boundary, accountable owner, and condition that would require revision or pause. Keep the decision receipt with the workflow record.
Next review
Record the decision owner, evidence source, review date, and the explicit condition to scale, revise, defer, or stop. Confirm how the resulting decision will be communicated, implemented, and retained in the operating record.
