A decision deserves a review date.
Keep the action, owner, baseline and review date together. Record outcomes and other changes before drawing conclusions.
Before action
Record an owner, a baseline, the reason for acting and a planned review.
At review
Compare results, document missing evidence and record other changes.
Does an improvement prove the decision worked?
A before/after difference alone does not establish causation. Record the context before attributing the outcome.
