The Decision Dossier

One document. Every claim traceable. Nothing smoothed over.

The Dossier is what a board, a regulator, or a court actually reads. It compresses seven stages of work into a document that answers the only question that matters after the fact: what did we know, when did we know it, and who said otherwise.

Structure

Built to be interrogated, not skimmed

Every figure in the Dossier links back to its source claim and evidence class. Every recommendation links back to the lens finding that produced it. Every approval links back to the conditions attached to it. There is no executive summary that isn’t backed by the underlying record.

Contents

What every Dossier contains

Executive summary & sponsor

The decision, its sponsor, and the mandate under which it was evaluated.

Classified evidence ledger

Every source claim, its class, owner, freshness, and any contradiction flags.

Financial model & scenarios

TCO, NPV, IRR, payback, and the base/upside/downside/stress comparison.

Twelve-lens assessment

Findings, severity, and mitigation owners across every required lens.

Dissent record

Every disagreement raised in the Challenge Room, and how — or whether — it was resolved.

Constitutional status & approvals

Which articles applied, whether they were satisfied, and the signed approval chain.

Evidence tagging

Four tags, applied everywhere

Every claim in the Dossier carries one of four tags, visible inline, never buried in a footnote.

Verified

Evidence

A verified, sourced fact with a named owner.

Estimated

Inference

A reasoned conclusion drawn from evidence, explicitly marked as such.

Assumed

Assumption

A stated premise the decision depends on, with its validation schedule.

Unverifiable

Judgment

A human call made under uncertainty, attributed to the person who made it.
