Decisions Overview
This section records important decisions related to SustainaSeed and VerityBase.
The purpose is to preserve context so the team understands not only what was decided, but why it was decided.
What Counts as a Decision
A decision page should be created when the team makes a meaningful choice about:
- Product direction
- Positioning
- Pricing
- Architecture
- Customer segment
- Pilot strategy
- Partnerships
- Data model
- Verification approach
- Operational workflow
Decision Page Format
Each decision should include:
- Decision title
- Date
- Owner
- Status
- Context
- Options considered
- Final decision
- Rationale
- Expected impact
- Follow-up actions
Status Values
Use these status labels:
- Proposed
- Approved
- Superseded
- Rejected
- Needs Review
Why This Matters
Decision records prevent the team from revisiting the same questions repeatedly without context.
They also help new team members understand how the product and company strategy evolved.
Publishing Rule
Only approved or meaningful working decisions should be published here.
Informal discussion should remain in Google Drive or meeting notes until it becomes a clear decision.
